Waiting on him to get back to me.

Just to suit you Rewinder even though you deleted your post.

Is it something that I would need to ship the entire rifle, or could I just ship the bolt? Hopefully the builder messages me back, I messaged him Sunday night. If not, any recommendations on who to ship it to for repair? Kinda bummed, I paid $2500 for the rifle and it's unusable the way it currently is.

This is supposed to be the 700 bolt guru.

that handle appears to be welded on incorrectly.

That bolt is modified way too long.

Length is a personal preference. You should see some of mine . I put shifter knobs on them . It all depends on how much arm strenght you have .
Needless to say I need more leverage . Im not in a rush , anymore

Or you need to use higher rings

You could use QD scope rings.

It is, but the longer the handle the higher the propensity to bind the bolt when cycling.

Not sure what using QD rings would accomplish. Not planning on pulling the scope every time I want to cycle the bolt.

If i raise the scope up high enough to clear the bolt it's sitting way to high off the action.

Heres what it looks like from the top

Not quite that bad. But that's the general idea.

I was joking.. I'm sure you don't want to remove the scope each time you need to cycle the action. . Hopefully you can get it reworked and get to shooting..

I built this rifle for myself very early on. This was when I was trying out a bunch of different handles to correct timing. Obviously this handle, when timed for maximum primary extraction sits way too high. I never scoped the rifle, a buddy wanted it, he never scoped it either. So I missed it. A mistake on my part. Im taking care of it though.

So I bought this rifle about a year and a half ago, and I'm finally getting around to mounting a scope and getting ready to shoot it. It's a Remington 700 action, using Seekins low rings, and a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 scope. When you open the bolt handle it contacts the scope before opening all the way.

I've tried mocking up a couple other scopes, and they both also keep the bolt from opening. Tried also using a couple different height picatinny risers I have for ar's and the scope needs to raise about a 1/2" to clear and that throws my cheek weld way off.

The bolt is cerakoted. Is this something that if I sent it to a gunsmith they could easily bend it a little and put enough relief in it to clear the scope?

A class act, as always Alex.

 

[codybrown]

It will be going back to Alex. I have 100% faith in him and he clearly explained what happened. A mistake was made and he owned up to it, and it's easy to see how it was overlooked.

Not my first mistake and wont be my last.
