[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2121421, member: 31749"] Lol... 3 rings of steel is marketing copy to gloss over all of the corners they cut in developing the rifle. An old salty (but very knowledgeable and well respected) gunsmith friend of mine once wrote the following on the subject: "Remington designed the 700 to cheapen the cost to manufacture a bolt action rifle. They did this by eliminating safety features from the Mauser action, and eliminating other things like integral recoil lugs (which is why they use a washer), forged bolts (which is why their bolts are soldered together from three pieces), a safety on the bolt (which was partly responsible for the Rem700 trigger issues in the past), a real extractor (which is why there is a market for M16 or Sako style extractors for the 700 bolts) etc." Yeah... real solid there.
