[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 706533, member: 2580"] Rob, what bolt face does the rifle have now? If it's a std belted magnum .535" face, the .270 WSM will work with it. If it's a .473" (.30-06, .308 etc,) it can be opened up and have a Sako or M-16 extractor installed. A gunsmith should do the job for less than a new bolt will cost. Remington will not sell you a bolt, so PT&G is your best choice if you decide you want a new bolt. I have installed 3 PT&G bolts over the last few yrs, and was impressed by their quality. You have to have a RUM box and follower, or the Wyatts, to make them feed. The factory RUM boxes have a weird elongated teardrop-shaped cut-out in both sides. Don't remember what the follower looks like, but you have to have both to make them feed. The Wyatt's centerfeed box and follower are good, but a little pricey. I think the extended box only holds 2 rounds, unlike the factory staggered box. Even so, I still prefer the centerfeed setup. Hope this helps, Tom [/QUOTE]
