Rem 700 Two-Stage

Our Remington 700 Two-Stage triggers were developed with the same unmatched zero-creep break, tactile pull weight adjustment (on both stages), rugged design, and no compromise engineering. Our focus on safety led us to develop the first Rem 700 trigger with four points of safety. This is a new...

I have to say, after taking some time to comb through this action, it absolutely punches above its $900 weight class.
It felt a little draggy on bolt open and close, without a trigger, so I thought perhaps the striker had a burr on it in the area of the shroud. When I took the firing assembly out I wanted to see how the bolt operation felt without any tension and, wow! The bolt will close under its own weight and open effortless and feels buttery smooth.
The striker/cocking piece didn’t have any burrs on it, but what I found was a slightly tight interface between bolt shroud and bolt body. I reinserted the shroud into the bolt body with some Autosol metal polish and lapped the two together. Night and day difference. I don’t recommend it for anyone to just do, and I’m sure I only accelerated what would have happened over hundreds or thousands of cycles, and I assume all responsibility, but wow. I’m a machinist and a tinkerer. It’s in my nature.
Did I mention wow?
Also, I have my hangar setup to have .005” of cock on close and .256” of pin fall. Feels great and I’m sure ignition won’t be an issue.

Not as extreme as what you did, but I sprayed my bolt and inside of the action down with Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner and that alone made a huge difference in the smooth running of the bolt. The more you cycle it the better it's going to get too.

You are also correct in stating that the bolt is draggy without a trigger in it. A properly adjusted trigger made a big difference.

What trigger are you running?
 
So the trigger causes it to be draggy, if not properly adjusted? Or do you mean in general? It causes that issue without having fired a cartridge if inappropriately adjusted?

I’m definitely noticing that the action is a little tight when I fire a cartridge and go to cycle the bolt… so I’m just assuming it needs to break in.

No, the drag was coming from a bit of friction between the bolt body and shroud.

@Tokay444 maybe DLC-ing the bolt body could have the same effect of your shroud polishing? I read DLC is 2 to 5 microns, is nitriding thicker? Friction should change also...
 
Nitriding is surface treatment that hardens to a certain depth, rather than a coating that builds up. The black colour that forms is oxidation. There could be a slight buildup of that oxidation in the area of .0002”-.0003”. I have effectively polished that oxidation off.

About to order a PVA barrel in 6.5CM, 24"

Hoping to do mostly bench shooting as just getting into bolt actions. Maybe PRS eventually.

Debating between medium palma and marksman contours. Thoughts? Or full send with heavy palma vs MTU / M24
 
Last edited:
barely a difference between the two. both rather light contours (in today's day) but they shoot decent strings well enough
 
If you’re only bench shooting, use a bench contour.
 
I like my MTU from them. I chambered my first barrel as a 6 GT in a straight taper 1.20". realized I need to to back and bench the muzzle because of how the Tbac can and mount interface.

All that to say that I've never had problems with contoured barrels. MTU is plenty thicc

I will tell you flat out that it is highly important that all the dimensions are flawless.

I ran into an issue last year we’re rather than using CB mounts I was using the area 419 adapter system, which removes the need for the CB mounts… and they had a run that were slightly out of tolerance (think thousands) and that was enough to cause a baffle strike on the end cap of my ultra9.

Always use an alignment rod to verify nothing is going to hit your suppressor… especially with aftermarket parts.
