Anyone of you own and shoot a Remington 700 CDL SF? If so, what are your thoughts? Approximate weight of a LA? Thanks in advance.
I have one in .270 WSM. Couldn't see it in the store, but it was fubar straight from the box. Remington made it good. With a 5x magnifier, it looked like someone had dropped the bolt on a hard surface and bent the front "ring" pinching the extractor so it could not move to snap over the case rim.
Mine shoots ok so far. If what it does is the best it'll ever do, I may not stay happy with it but it looks promising so far. It does not like max loads, it shoots best about 2 grains off max which means it can be equaled by a very warm .270 Win load. That's not a bad thing.
If I had it to do again ... well, I went into the gun store really looking for a 700 XCR in .270 WSM and this was the nearest thing they had. I would have taken an XCR in .270 Win if they'd had that, too. In hind sight either might have been a better choice but this is not a bad one.
