There is a bright spot in an arc just inside of the crack, I bet that is where it hit when it was dropped.

I have purchased two in the last year, one in 7MM-08 and the other in 260 Remington. They are my most accurate rifles. Both will put three round under a quarter at 100 yards. Neither has had a mechanical issue of any kind. I don't think it matters much what the brand or model number is, if enough rifles are produced a flaw will get by every once in awhile. That is not representative of all or even a large portion of units produced. I have noticed that every once in a while someone will post about a "bad" rifle on this forum and then imply that all are like that. I always wonder who the expert is when that happens.
I will hunt everywhere before I die!

the last couple sps stainless 700's I bought were not very good. eventually replaced everything but the action and re-barreled that one twice, and still unacceptable accuracy, so it is getting replaced with a stiller action and a third barrel, and nothing but the bottom metal is left from the original.
that miserable thing has cost me a lot of money...
the other one I just traded towards something else, no point in throwing good money after bad any more.
I do own 2 respectable 700's but they are older.
and I do rub elbows with a lot of competitive rifle shooters who have provided a lot of help trying to get the two suspects to shoot like they should be able to. man i hate to hear that. starting to think about looking at something else now. maybe a ruger. hate that remingtons qc has gone downhill. my 90s ADL .270 is a great shooter and my fav rifle it has been very discouraging to say the least...

Ive bought had a dozen of them, and have been happy with them all. Granted, I bought them as donors and 'modified' them, but i used a number of the original barrels, and have no complaints.
The triggers sucked though,and were all replaced before shooting. I've been happy with mine. The trigger sucked and I took a chance with a spring from Ernie the Gunsmith, so far so good. They are $6.95 and worth ever penny. Ernie's spring is a game changer. My trigger now sits safely at just under three pounds.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
