7MM-08 Gone

[bishopgrandpa]

My Handi 7mm-08 had ejection problems from the start. After about four boxes of rounds I found every one sticking. After inspection of the cases I found a strange mark on the neck and continuing on to the shoulder as if the case was being embossed into the chamber. NEF said "Send it back". I did. A week later they said the barrel needs to be replaced but they don't have one and don't know when another "run" will be made. Maybe sometime next year. I want the 7mm-08 but may be better off going to a .308 or such to get the gun back and in use. Has anyone else run into simillar problems with NEF?

They run out of barrels often enough that some folks don't get what they want when they order them, their CS is second to none, but supply doesn't always equal demand, unfortunately. A couple years back, .30-30 barrels were out of stock for 6 months, but for the most part, 8-9 weeks is the longest I've waited or seen anyone else wait for a barrel to become available, I think they're also out of .25-06 barrels right now.

Lookat the bright side , now you can get what ever barrel you want , as long as it is not a 7/08 , have them check and see what they have , maybe sonething odd that you could trade to get a 7/08
