Sorry for the long description.
I recently purchased a 10/22 Takedown. I went right from the store to the range, did a light oiling, ran the boresnake through barrel to clear any debris and put 150 rounds through her. Nice quarter-sized groups at 25yds shooting offhand.
However, I noticed when cycling the bolt it felt gritty. When I got home I stripped it down to check fit and finish. I followed the instructions and still found the bolt very difficult to remove. The machined surfaces on the chamber side of the bolt were irregular and "not pretty". There was also a burr on the left rear side. The roof of the receiver was also not polished but rough finished. I emailed Ruger with my concerns and they will issue an RMA so I can return the entire rifle for inspection.
Has anyone else seen this? Is it worth sending back to Ruger?
