I'm curious why Remington 700 actions aren't true from the factory? I've had Tikka's and Howa's rebarreled and both have been true from the factory. Not throwing rocks at Remington, just curious. I actually have a Rem 700 action at a gunsmith being built right now.
I did it to my 700 7mm Remington Magnum. Had the barrel vise, etc. So, I did it myself. - When I closed the bolt, you'd hear a squeak. It was the bolt face not being perfect to the receiver. Visual swipe marks half-way around the brass case heads. I trued-up the bolt face. - Now it doesn't do it.
I did not send the rifle in to Remington cuz I had a SAKO-style extractor already installed. - They will not do warranty work on anything if they see any modifications done.
- I just sent the bolt in to this guy.
