[QUOTE="okie22br, post: 1940878, member: 38487"] There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Remington 700 as far as the action goes and I have built several custom barreled rifles off of the Remington 700 LA and SA with actions dating back to the early 1960’s. It’s just that when Remington released their 700 action with serial #’s that started with the RR prefix is when things got sketchy. Not all of them had the bolt handles tigged on in the proper location, which in turn caused the primary extraction issues. It’s not about dirty brass or dirty chamber, hell I have brass that looks way worse than the OP’s brass and still functions without a hiccup ( I use my stuff and don’t care how shiny new it looks) You Just can’t fix the primary extraction issues with these bolts unless you have someone that knows how to tig a bolt handle in the proper position. I wouldn’t even consider doing a custom build on an RR serial numbered action without purchasing a PTG bolt to start out. Save yourself or anyone else reading this the heartache when they can’t get the case to extract. [/QUOTE]
