Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Might buy a new Remington 700 - what to look out for

I don't know that there are any common problems that could be detected with a cursory examination. If the shop will let you cycle some ammo, that could help a little. It seems fairly common, among a number of manufacturers, for there to be chambering, extraction and ejection issues. 3 of my last three rifles had such problems.
