[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 848439, member: 22069"] I think the important takeaway from this is to know the potential weaknesses of the design of whatever rifle one chooses. Being aware of such things allows one the opportunity to address potential issues or be prepared should a problem rear its ugly head. The fix for the bolt issue would seem to be to have a smith tig weld the bolt handle. I would think that would be a cheap and simple preventative measure. A PTG bolt would be an even more comprehensive fix to some of the known issues of the Remington 700. I am not a big fan of the 700's. I have owned a couple. I don't see myself owning another. My tastes have changed and I just feel that better rifles can be had at the same price level or less. Having said that, I don't think 700's are bad rifles and I wouldn't try to steer anyone away from them. [/QUOTE]
