Few know that if a Rem 700 bolt is timed correctly, the extractor will yank the rim off the case before it fails to extract.
I am a Remington freek and own a few customs.
I have also had a bunch of custom Parker Hales which are mauser actions with lock time like Cadillac Door closing. Everyone of the Parker Hale customs shot in the very low 2's, without fail. Now, the gunsmith knew how to indicate a barrel in, and all barrels were Shilen Match grade Stainless steel with good reamers used. I shot benchrest for years, know how to reload and use wind flags.
I have a period 1950's Springfield with a 30" straight taper barrel about 1.125" in dia. The gun was built by a very, very good gunsmith of unknown origin, 22/250. This rifle will shoot with a lot of custom rigs, and has out shot a panda and batt on several occasions....nut behind the bolt.
The gunsmith that uses a quality barrel,takes his time indicating the barrel in, will produce a very, very accurate rifle....period.
