[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1087886, member: 10291"] Yes it was/is a common problem with the Model 70's in the WSSM's. I had the same issues several years ago with a 223 WSSM Coyote with chambering issues and bolt problems, including rust inside the bolt. The throat and chamber clearly appeared to be cooked in less than 100 rounds. It was a new rifle. Sent the rifle to Winchester(New Haven). They sent it back with a target with a two shot half inch group claiming it was fine but it still had the same issues. I have seen and heard of several others that have had the same issues. IMO, the WSSM's are over-bored monstrosities. I sold it at a loss toa fella that wanted it for a project. [/QUOTE]
