Hey guys just wondering if the wear on this bolt looks excessive? Rifle is Remington 700 sps in 7mmstw not sure how old the rifle is but it appears to be a factory barreled action in a h s precision stock with oversized bolt knob installed. I found it used at a local gun shop I deal with.
The previous owner traded it in on a Christensen Ridgeline and I got the rifle with rcbs dies and 100+ brass/handloads for 600$. All the handloads with it are dated from 2013-14.
I took a chance and bought it figuring if the barrel was shot out I would rebarrel in 300win mag. The only range I've been able to shoot is 25yards and it has been one hole groups with the hand loads that came with it. But after I stripped and cleaned it I looked at the bolt closer and now I'm not to sure about if I want to keep it or get rid of it. The action shows typical wear from the bolt but nothing excessive. And I checked to make sure the front action bolt wasn't to long and rubbing. It's not and without the firing pin/ bolt shroud there is no resistance on the bolt. Slides in smooth and handle drops relatively loose. Non of my other Remington's have this much wear but they are all 223/6.5cm/308. Not sure if it being a 7mm stw would make a difference. Just wondering what you guys think. Thanks.
