PTG bolt in a Panda

[mshelton]

Anyone ever had a Pacific Tool and Gauge bolt fitted to a Panda action?

I guess most of the Panda owners would just purchase a new Panda bolt from Kelbys if theirs was messed up. I recently had mine "bushed" and wouldn't consider anything but a Panda bolt for my Panda. They are sweet.
Nothing against PT&G.

Problem is, new Panda bolts are $650. The one I have in it is fine as a ppc boltface, problem is that someone decided that the Kelbly extractor wasn't good enough and installed a Sako. From What I've been told a Sako extractor can't really be opened up to a BR. This action is going into a varmint rifle, ppc is fine but I was thinking it would be nice to be able to shoot BR/308 boltface chamberings also.

mshelton,,why dont you call kelblys and have them open up the bolt face and do extractor mods,,,they do this every day,you will save 450$ and it will work like a charm,,,think about it..Roger
