[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1879547, member: 38048"] Mind crime the extraction issues they are referring to here has nothing to do with the actual extractor. They are referring to how much the bolt handle engaged the extraction cam on the top rest of the action. This caming effect is what starts the process of the shell coming out of the chamber. The closer you can get the handle to the front of the handle cut out the more primary extraction you will have. Most 700s out of the box only use about half of the cam. By having the bolt handle moved forward and tig welded does 2 important things. One is it gives you much improved cam ability and improves your case coming out of the chamber immensely. Two it keeps the 700 bolt from breaking off. I've seen handles come off from just dropping it at the range. Not the whole gun. Just dropping the bolt on the handle snapped it right off. But most broken 700 handles are from people hammering them open using loads way too hot. Hope this helps and yes I am a 30 yr professional smith and I happen to love 700s. In my opinion moving the handle forward on the bolt is the single best improvement you can make to a 700. Remington should definitely hold this tollerence tighter. Shep [/QUOTE]
