[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2632946, member: 30902"] Bolts are a weak spot in the design. The solder them on and if the soldering job is not perfect they can snap off or pop off. I'm a preventive medicine guy, rather head off a potential problem than deal with it when it appears. The cost of the three methods is so minimal it's just cheap insurance. Extractors are another which is why so many guys and smiths doing customs go with the SAKO or M16 extractor. I've had three 700's with extractor problems over the years. I don't have many 700's anymore because I prefer model 70's which avoid the issue entirely. Eventually probably all of my 700's will be replaced with the M70's, Montana M1999's or CZ 500 series, 527 and 550's. If you hunt dangerous game even occasionally you start thinking about such issues and CRF vs non push feed actions. [/QUOTE]
