[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1606735, member: 10291"] For hunting conditions, I stick with the factory springs. My LR rifles are +10#, with precision being impervious to any inertia or bolt jump. I do pay careful attention to the inspection, cleaning,lubrications points, and choice of lubricant used in the bolt assembly I have found trigger selection has been far more influential for maximizing precision and accuracy. This came up in a discussion a few weeks ago in another thread. Thought it might be worth reviewing: In my experience, the firing pin retaining pin used in the Remington 700/clones has been the most frequent failure point. While a quick visual inspection may give the appearance of being OK, if broken, and the pin contained within the bolt sleeve, it may still work but cause misfires due to dragging within the bolt sleeve. Ultimately, full failure will result with the possible risk of trigger damage. Heavy dry firing and/or lack of lubrication within the sleeve seems to be the most common causes of failure. I will usually keep a few spare pins on hand and replace them of they look worn. [ATTACH]128531[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]128532[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
