Rem 700 bolt lift improvement

[bennett ford]

It's ugly but the easiest way to improve bolt lift is the KRG add on bolt knob. I competed in over the course HP for many years with stock 40Xs and really wish this thing had been around then.

Boyd,
You have resurrected this old thread.
I am not sure what your trying to say. I am ready to be educated!
The DUO spring is around 19-20lb that is why it feels easier - period. Bought it, installed it, tested it, did the calc’s, sent it back for a refund which I received as it is not as advertised @ 24lb no matter how it’s tested. I believe you cannot get 24lb from 0.050” wire in a firearm application for Remington 700 style.

I should have been more clear. In my post I also referred to a spring that I got from Greg Tannel. Recently I tested the cocked weight of my Tubb duo spring setup in my Viper action. It came in around 22#. It is installed in my Viper actioned PPC which has an .062 fring pin tip. It has been my experience you can get away with a lighter spring with the smaller pin tip. It came with a 19# spring and I have used various weights with no obvious effect on performance. At the same time I got my Tubb setup, I ordered a couple of them for a friend for a couple of Pandas that have the regular pin tip diameter. Those rifles are shooting very well. One of the things that I like about hobbies is that we get to do our own experiments and are not required to adopt any particular method or piece of equipment, except as rules or safety dictate.
