[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1104939, member: 38494"] This particular Remington was a BDL version purchased in 1975 and was used primarily for hunting. No reloads just factory ammunition was used in this rifle. The rifle was not abused but used a lot from climbing in the mountains during the fall/winter to in the summer switching from 150 to 125 grain bullets to hunt varmints. And it was dropped one time with the crown receiving a large gash in it from a hitting a rock and would not shoot worth a darn. After that the rifle basically sat in my gun safe for the past 10 years. Other than the bolt issue I am pleased with the rifle build. It will shoot some fantastic groups with the reloads that I have developed. You are probably correct the receiver was not reamed to the same dimension front and back. Thank you for the advice of making sure find someone who knows what they are doing. [/QUOTE]
