    Gunsmithing Canted trigger in 700 action...

    ? with the action screws in the alignment with the trigger looks good. Seems the recoil lug is turned as others have stated, if thats the case its an easy fix. Action wrench, barrel vise and a lug alignment tool.

    Gunsmithing Pierce action ejection issue

    Re: Pierce action ejection issue McFred, Just took another look at it and I think you nailed it. If I cycle the bolt slower it will toss the round, I would imagine the only fix for this would be a stronger spring in the ejector? thanks.

    Gunsmithing Straight fluting bolts

    Re: Straight fluting bolts yep, I will never own another fluted bolt. As for debris, with the ratcheting effect on this rifle it sure sounds like you could break apart a large ice dam in the action sandpaper, files, dremel we'll see what gets it fixed, then gunkote.
