Bolt timing/primary extraction Rem 700 - 12/22/17
I have some serious bolt timing / primary extraction issues with my 12 month old Rem 700. From what I've read and seen online it seems to be a common problem with some newer Rem 700's My rifle started out as a 300RUM but was rebarrelled soon after purchase to a 375RUM which is when I first became aware of the issue. I'm not sure if rebarrelling to another cartridge is going to create an issue with warranty but I suppose I will find out soon enough.
Anyone else had had this problem with a new Remington 700........and if so, how was it fixed? My gunsmith suggesting removing and replacing the bolt handle to it''s correct position, although I'm hoping our local Remington distributor here in Australia will just replace the bolt with a new bolt with the handle properly positioned. It's not a problem for me to get it repaired, although I don't feel it's my responsibility.
