I've got an old Remington 700 whose bolt is "loose", for lack of a better term. There's a lot of side to side play in it. So much so that the bolt face will hit the receiver when closing the bolt if I don't make sure to avoid "leftward" pressure.
I showed it to the local shop and they recommended filing and polishing a bit on the receiver to a slight bevel so the bolt wouldn't snag. He attributed it to an old action that's seen a lot of use.
What have yall seen that causes this before and what did you do to fix it?
Thanks guys.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

Not sure exactly what your saying but I think I would but a PTG oversize bolt and have the action tured and raceway reamed for the oversize bolt. Or just sleeve the bolt.

What's the cost to have the receiver reamed for the new bolt?
I checked around a little and found a price of $175 somewhere.
