[QUOTE="Fox Hunter, post: 1020873, member: 39861"] To me, that doesn't look like anything to worry about. Remington has the bolt in and out of the gun a number of times when the build it. They also probably fire a couple rounds through it to proof it before shipping it out so there may be some brass flecks on the bolt face. Plus there are probably a lot of people in the supply chain between Remington and your gun shop that handled it to check serial numbers and generally fondle it. A few years ago I bought a .223 700 VSSF II that was dirty like it spent a day at the range. I almost left it there. Glad I didn't because it is the most accurate 'factory' rifle I ever owned.
