There is something wrong with it. I had high hopes for it. It is the first buck ive ever gotten that did shave the hair off myb arm in big chunks easily. But, the middle stand off has a gap between the frame so it rattles when you shake it. There is about 1.5mm gap. I bought it from bass pro shops since I'm over near one for training.

Im not really going to have the time to return it and deal with Orlando. Im up in the air about living with it, fixing it myself or sending it back to Buck. Its not s huge issue, but sorta let down. In fact they only had to in the shelf and the other had some marks in the package on the blade so i had grabbed this one.

I do like it though
 
Im kinda under the impression either the stand off is to short or the screws are to long. It kinda do look like the middle bows out a little
 
You'll find out if you check out that video, and take her apart.
Compare the standoffs and screws to see if they are all the same size etc...
 
mars, Chris is right, it's an easy fix. Tighten that spacer screw up and the rattling goes away. I had the same thing on my 340.

Chris, thanks for mentioning my video! BTW, my channel is not monetized.

I think im going to need a better bit set. All my good tool are at work and was borrowing my dads cheap set. I tightened it up some, but then the bit was slipping in the screw and I couldnt get it to tighten up anymore
