Worst action I have ever seen. Could see light between it and lug on one side. Notice the gap between the actions!

Re: Really crooked action
It was is a E prefix. Face was cut that bad. I could see machine marks on half the face and other half looked like a file or grinder was used on it.

Re: Really crooked action
Hey guys I'm no gunsmith, but I think I've got a problem similar to the action in this thread. I'd appreciate any advice you can throw my way as to how I can fix it.
I bought a gun off the hide here a couple months ago. First time I fired it I had to put in 19 moa windage to get it zeroed. I switch the mount/rings/scope, took it out yesterday and same thing.
Worst part is the rifle shoots better than I do. I got one group under a quarter inch, and that was shooting fast and bitching about the windage issue.
Only thing I can figure is that the action/rail is out of line. Is there any way to correct this? Like maybe lining up bigger screw holes in the action?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Really crooked action
I have had several "E" series that were horrible. The newer "G" series seem to be the best. There is one small bolt handle notch issue but easily corrected.

And people give Savages crap... Sorry I just had to.
But that is pretty bad. Remington QA just sucks. My 870 has never really worked right and I've gotten some Remington 30-06 ammo that was missing primers. Sad...

Re: Really crooked action
I have a friend with a Remmy, that the wear on the bolt shows that the bolt actually cams itself tight when closed. Brought it to me for a new scope mount, and epoxy bedding. SOB shoots <1/2 moa and the barrel looks like a blacktop driveway, all burned and crackly. 6 mm Rem caliber. Bolt lugs show pretty even wear. I made sure that the epoxy set with no strain on the action, and I can still feel the bolt camming tight when I close the bolt, bearing on the feed ramp. Pretty is as pretty does.
