[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1828128, member: 65116"] Goodness! If the Remington 700 action is so poorly made that it has to be reworked basically from scratch, why not buy a better action. Bolt lift, bad threads, weak extractor and such are interesting and a great source of revenue for gunsmiths. I am not concerned with all of that as I just use a standard unmodified action (Savage, Ruger or Remington) and put my effort into the quality of the barrel and chamber. I set the headspace using the Savage barrel nut system on my actions and find that resolves all the issues. A great barrel-chamber, properly headspace and attached to an action that is securely held in a rigid stock works great. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
