Progress is being made. After talking to reps from both Remington and Winchester, rifle and ammo were shipped back to their respective makers. Received a quote from Winchester to "Place gun in proper mechanical condition" which includes replacing the bolt. Remington rep said he'd take care of the charges for the repair and a call to Winchester confirmed they received the check and are proceeding. He also said he'd send me a replacement box of ammo from their "premium line". I just got it and was kinda surprised it was a box of Barnes VOR-TX. When I asked he said the faulty ammunition dated from '98 and was corroded on the inside which led to the primer leak.
So you have to pay Winchester to fix the rifle? I may be misunderstanding.?
