[QUOTE="Privi457, post: 1940864, member: 114626"] I keep reading these Remington 700 "extraction" and "bolt handle" horror stories and am left wondering how the 10s of 1000s 7XX rifles out there starting in 1948 have worked at all. Probably owned 20 odd from 222 to a custom 400 H&H. Never was unable to extract a case, never had a bolt handle fall off. Of course I never tried to make my 722 300 Savage into a 700 Classic in 300 H&H. Wonder if that could have anything to do with it ? May I suggest if you want to shoot dirty ammo, loaded hot, in dirty chambers and still be able to get them out, find an FN Mauser action. You can beat on, stand on, jump on the bolt handle and the empty will come out and the handle will remain intact. The Germans in WW One worked in those conditions and their old GEW 98s did the job.
