Any thoughts on what to check for or inspect prior to letting the 'smithy look at it for real?
And as is typical on gun threads, I will pre-empt the h8-ers: not interested in other makes and models or your derogatory comments about this series of rifle and its long-gone trigger issues.
Clean and lubricate.
The bolt release is not popping back up in place to hold the bolt.
Ping to Remy 7XX question...
Excuse the formatting, I live a village over from Remington. This comes from the local tv station
According to the Business Wire, Remington Arms has announced a voluntary recall of Model 700 and Model Seven rifles manufactured from May 1, 2006 to April 9, 2014, Saturday.
Senior Engineers at Remington determined that some of the rifles with X-Mark Pro (XMP) triggers could, under certain circumstances, unintentionally discharge due to the presence of excess bonding agent used in the assembly process.
Remington has since advised customers to immediately cease use of recalled rifles and return them to Remington free of charge.
The rifles will be inspected, specialty cleaned, tested, and returned as soon as possible.
They are also advising that no owners attempt to diagnose or repair recalled rifles.
For more information about the Remington recall, visit xmprecall.remington.com, or call them toll free at 1-800-243-9700.
Weak/broken spring on release
Never buy a used 770 or 700 they are all junk and I sure wouldn’t be letting my kid handle it.
Rem 700, 30-06, 165gr, 2700fps @150 yds. This was my best group of last year. I have a new 20MOA scope rail and am gonna stretch her legs this coming season.
Its been modernized but its the same receiver, barrel AND TRIGGER my dad bought me for $75 when I was 15
