[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 2001951, member: 23070"] here’s my issue. I purchased a used Remington 700 blue printed with a custom barrel(was told it was a Krieger) chambered in 20 tac years ago. The rifle flat out shoots! It’s not terribly heavy but solid enough for a great coyote getter! I’ve developed loads for the 39 blitz and 35 bergers and love the caliber. The rifle however has always given me issues. The action looks sloppy. Whoever messed with it before me, sanded the bolt but did horrific work. It was wearing a factory vls stock and bdl. I had to change the follower as it was for a 22-250/243 and wouldn’t hold the rounds. It fed okay after this. But the bolt face has a half moon/crescent extractor in it running right across the bolt face, and sometimes it won’t slip over the round and bolt won’t close. I have to half cycle 3-4 times until it finally slips over the rim and closes. ****es me off when your trying to follow up on a second dog! my problem is I don’t know if it’s worth selling it for cheap so with full disclosure so it’s someone else’s issue and start over from scratch with custom action build, or send it to a smith, get a new bolt and get them to rework it [/QUOTE]
