Problem turned out to be a bad chamber along with a binding bolt. I have owned 6 Rem 700's all bought brand new and have had to send 4 of them off to get repaired. Not a good track record at all. I have not bought Remingtons for several years because of this. I decided to give Remington another chance because they are made here in the USA. There was a time when you bought a Remington you had a quality made gun. Like the saying goes..{all good things come to an end}. Sadly, this is true with Remington.
