Like I said, I’ve been around and literally owned hundreds of 700’s, and have never heard or seen anyone bush a bolt. Maybe cause I run with killers and skinny Jean flatbill crowd?? Either way, never seen or heard of it other than online.
Jud,
I am not a Remington guy.... I am a Savage guy...
I did decide to build a 223AI on a 700, ordered a new action from Buds. Got the thing up and running and it cratered and pierced primers with standard 223 loads. The best I can do is 2700 fps with an 80 gr. bullet, so now I need to send the bolt off to get bushed.
Kicking myself for not sticking with Savage.
