[QUOTE="Oldman67, post: 1094133, member: 90950"] Hi guys ! I just did a search on this exact problem and found this thread. I purchased a new Rem 700 5R in 300 Win Mag 8 weeks ago and after setting up the Nightforce scope I went to the range to run the barrel in with some Federal factory ammo only to find the bolt wouldn't close on the round. Inspection found that the extractor was a long way out of position and the bolt face ring was deformed and bulged where the extractor retaining rivet was fitted. There was also a large drop of silver solder on the inside of the bolt head that had run behind the extractor causing it to protrude inwards. The dealer sent it back to the Australian distributor and they sent it to their gunsmiths to fix !! They have had it for 7 weeks now and after talking directly to the gunsmith shop they use, I find out that this is a common problem with the Rem 300 Win Mags. All I can say is that I wish I had done this search before I paid for it !!!!!:rolleyes: Cheers OLDMAN67 Australia [/QUOTE]
