They, the remington actions, have, with few modifications, been used in combat by both the US Marines and the US Army for alot of years now. They wouldn't keep'em if they didn't work. E


I have no issues with the factory extractor and actually prefer them, they work exceptionally good, but most of the time are not available in the customs, but dimensionally they are far ahead of a 700, the 1 pc bolt handle is nicer than using screws to attach a handle, the top end customs have better bolt timing and extraction surfaces, 8-40 base screws, a pinned recoil lug mostly bells and whistles but you also get consistantcy in my experience, so you pay more and get more!
