[QUOTE="deadlift, post: 984553, member: 40021"] All man made parts can fail and will eventually fail. That being said I've seen 4 new remmy 700's sent back to Rem for crappy/failed parts recently (< last 3 months) But at the last match there were 2 guys from the savage pro team that had their 6.5 creeds fail with in 10 mins of each other from shooting in the rain and getting jacked up pressures. Both guys had to pull out of the shoot. So in short, everything can got to hell when you least expect it. On Remmys, replace the extractor and weld the bolt. You will take out 90% common failures. On savages, I don't know what fails, but if it were me, I would get a spare bolt and call it good. Custom actions have their weakness as well, extractors break, as well as bolt stops. Ive seen both go to crap. Personally I shoot remmys with the stated modifications. Just what I like and have faith in. But my comp rifle is a Borden and it can take a beating!
