[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1648831, member: 65116"] Based on this thread, I went and had a look at the Remington 700 action and the Savage 110 Action. When the bolt is closed on the Remington there is a clear path on the right side of the bolt where you can see the butt of the barrel. The left side is blocked by the structure of the action and the rear fixture on the bolt, but the right side. A failure of the brass might well blow brass out the right side into your face. I do no believe "the three rings of steel" is anywhere as significant as having those tracks blocked by steel as in the Savage. On the Savage 110 those tracks are blocked by the portion of the bolt that does not rotate when the action is closed: no clear path to your face: cannot see the butt of the barrel. Mausingfield having a Remington style has a similar problem though the Mauser extractor does tend to block that right side path. I would say that the Remington 700 design is the least safe (blowing brass) of the Savage, Mausingfield or Ruger actions. Of course the answer is to reload carefully, only have one kind of powder on the table at a time and beside of your load. I look in every case with flashlight after powdering to be sure that I am not loading a primer only round or a double charge. [/QUOTE]
