[QUOTE="therichardpowell, post: 709457, member: 54453"] I agree with the extra cost of the tools, however, I plan on building a Savage action with a Shilen screw in barrel, and according to [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/710783/wheeler-engineering-action-wrench-2-remington-700-savage-110"]this[/URL], the action wrench will work on both. Same with the barrel vise, pretty universal there. Not sure which one of those I would get. Suggestions? And headspace gauges, once I have em, I have em and can use them for the rest of my life. I really am starting to get into building my own stuff and investing in some extra tools is something I am willing to do. I am not going to be machining parts and installing sako extractors or anything but, screwing a barrel on and checking headpace doesn't look like a whole lot of trouble. I am a mechanic and I in no way compare gun smithing to fixing cars put I have an understanding how things work, and feel confident that I am able to do some of these things and save myself some money. I would be all for getting my bolt fixed, but I have been messing with it for a long time now, and it either needs to work perfect, or get replaced with a better design. I found a video that shows pretty much exactly what I am talking about, then it shows a Sako extractor flingin the case out. [url=http://youtu.be/7g-jgOtPLjM]Remington 700 Bolt: Factory vs Sako-style extractor - YouTube[/url] I would love to see my rifle extract like that. It would be worth the cost of having someone install the sako style extractor. I am leaning towards keeping my bolt and having a sako installed. Any suggestions on who to have do it?
