I was shooting Remington corelokts when the extractor gave up. So I whacked the barrel on my truck tire gently to shake the shell out. That's when my leupold scope came loose from my talleys cracking to pieces. It fell and knocked the damn bolt handle off my favorite Remington 700. Where should I go from here?

I bet the gummy recoil pad was full of gravel and scratched your Tony Lama's! Best not buy your lottery tickets this week!!

Local gunsmith should be able to repair the bolt. Scope back to Leupold, rings back to Talley.
+1 on the lottery ticket

Sounds like the shooting sports may not be the best hobby choice for you. Perhaps you should explore other endeavors. Maybe something with crayons. 😁
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

That sticky melty pad did mess up my favorite Biden Harris tee shirt pretty bad after shooting a ton. Must have shot 2 or 3 boxes of those shells trying to get the scope dialed in. I'm usually dead eye shot but something was up. Not sure if I was pulling them cause of the crappy trigger or that leupold scope couldnt hold its zero

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I'd put it on Gunbroker. Be honest . . . full disclosure. Start it at $999.

Not sure...but if I were you I would give up wanking for the rest of the month.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Yea it does that sometimes when I flip the safety off I shoot all my Remingtons that way. Takes a bit of practice and I get the safeties set at 2lbs with a crisp break. Works well after you get the muscle memory down pat.
