I've had stellar luck with my R700's. I don't burn military armory level of rounds but we shoot a considerable amount most every week. I've got one old 700SA that went through 3 22-250 barrels including at least one set-back-a-thread- and-rechamber when I was mad at the pasture poodles. It still lives as a 250 savage mountain rifle clone now - thing is smooth as glass and total parts breakage is zero. I can't eve begin to estimate the number of rounds through that thing. I might be missing something but before our canoe accident we had R700's from 22-250 to 300RUM to 375 H&H.....I can remember a BDL floorplate pin falling out and that's the only failure.
