About 6 months ago I bought a new VXII for my Rem 700 in .223.
Oh, now you are really asking for trouble. A Leupold on a Remington 700!
You'll probably lose the bolt handle before the recoil of that .223 craps the scope out.......(grin)
Bolt handles ,falling off??? Never seen it on a Remington, guy at work had one fall off a Tikka this year though...
Yea, there was a spate of, and a lot of talk about, Remington bolt handles coming off at one time.
I'm really in for it, myself. I have a mid-70s Remington M700 ADL in .243. I have a Pac Nor .308 barrel on the way, and have the rest of the stuff here. Timney #510 trigger, Grayboe Outlander stock, bottom metal......and a Leupold..........
If the bolt handle comes off, I'll just send it to Redneck for a bolt-on conversion, may do it in the off season anyway.
I hadn't heard anything about Tikka.
