I believe that the afore mentioned jam coyote hunting would not have occurred with a mauser type bolt face.

There is a reason the Model 70 is preferred by PH's in Africa and they often use pre 64 Model 70's when they were not using drillings or other break action type rifles.

RMFC its great that you love Big Green. Just be willing to admit the facts of their design flaws to your self.

I would never own another Remington. But I don't have to shoot your game, you do that. Your a big boy.

Ignoring the facts does not change the facts.

My dad has a pre 64 model 70 30-06 from my grandpa. My grandpa used to be able to shoot his empty casings without breaking the sides from 100 yds. One time he set the casind up to where the opening in the neck was facing mim, and didn't mess up the neck at all, and came straight out the back of the bullet. Now that takes a lot of skill on his part, but it has to be a hell of a rifle to repeat that.

just gonna come out and say BS, sounds like gramps had some good stories though. To put a bullet back through a case neck with messing it up is impossible.

Why is that, RMFC?

I understand why actions and bores should be cleaned, but this is the first time I have ever heard of this, much less heard it called a stupid idea.

I await your response with anticipation.

im not getting in the middle of all of this. i flush mine all out with ronsonol lighter fluid. that is Jewell's recommendation.
of course im talking Benchrest and high end varmint rifles. not everyday ground pounders.

as for OP buy a Savage but hunt around for the best price
