[QUOTE="western110, post: 30032, member: 1604"] Hi, I'm not sure which forum to put this in so I'll try this one. I have a new Rem 700 VLS in a ACIS stock. It has been shooting great (around 300 rounds so far). However, today I've been having trouble opening the bolt. I though perhaps a powder measuring screw up was giving me high pressure but no signs on the brass. I tried some factory ammo and still had the same problem so I took the bolt out and looked at it and one lug is showing little if any wear and the other is all messed up looking. The bad lug is rough and starting to get a grove cut in it. What the heck is going on here? I'd hear the Remington was having some issues with QC but this seems nuts. Can I fix this? Will Remington fix this? I've owned Winchester, Ruger, and a bunch of old army rifles but never a Rem and though the groups are great I've got to say this lug issue is not impressing me. Thanks for any input on this topic. [ 12-21-2003: Message edited by: Rover ] [/QUOTE]
