I'm a new member and I Just bought my first rifle the savage axis in .223 I have a redfield revenge accu ranger varmit 4-12x-42 along with weaver base and Burris 1" rings gonna be my coyote gun. My question is should I plan on doing the extractor right away or should I wait til it acts up? I'm decent mechanic wise never really tore into a rifle is this a hard job or take your time and it's easy?
Welcome. And wait, yu may never have a problem with it. Not all the detent balls are problematic.
Welcome and +1 to what Foxx said..
Alright thanks guys! Can't wait to shoot it but gotta wait on my scope to show up now!
Lesson #1 for any mechanic -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :-)
You could argue it is more preventative maintenance thoughQuote:
