[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1227371, member: 14204"] L:DL! Those parts he's referring to that can fail can be fixed by the end-user at home without a gunsmith's service. No bolt design is safe from Murphy, it's just a matter if time when that day comes. I had 25+ rifle that the pin securing the bolt face finally gave in after those successful years of service; it costs me $2 to fix it myself. [U][U][ame]https://youtu.be/RZ7AoOGYbcs?t=103[/ame][/U][/U] Savage's floating bolt design is ahead of its time and some of the custom action manufacturer's like Big Horn Arms and Mausingfield are finally realizing and slowly adapting their own design. In addition, their actions are Remington 700 compatible.
