[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 162173, member: 8843"] Well screwing the bolt handel to the bolt body is supposed to make it alot stronger as Remington only silver solders the handel to the bolt and some guys have knocked them of when cycling the bolt , this is more than likely due to the solder joint being poorly done rather than just being a weak desgine. I personaly like to TIG weld my handels on. as for opening the base holes up , well thats supposed to make the mounting alot stronger , how strong you need it to me is a question only you can answer. I like to do it more because I have seen some actions that were drilled out of line with the bore of the rifle , so I set up the barreled action in the Mill and make sue that the holes line up with the rifle bore and drill them that way.
