A lot of people shoot them and don’t even know the problem exists.
I think that most of the time it's maximum extraction vs. enough extraction. I don't remember seeing one that didn't work at all.

The only way to know for sure is check it.

It’s kinda like the bolt comes straight up and sits there waiting on you.

I agree with the statement that the vast majority of shooters who by Remington 700’s don’t even know a problem exist.
If you sent one back to Remington, they would test it with their Factory ammo, and tell you there is no problem.
The World that is represented on this Web Site is an entirely different World. We tend to look at things not as they are, but how they should be.

What the heck are your goals for this action? What purpose do you intend to use this action for? I have not seen a single RR that isn’t functional. As Jackie alluded to they may not perfect in our eyes but they are certainly functional for 99% of the masses they were made for. In actuality the RR’s were far better than the previous 700’s especially if you bought one as an action only.

What is the mentioned problem?
I’m gonna have a rifle built with it and I was told more than likely there’s a timing issue with most of these actions, so I need to know how to check it and know if it has a bolt timing issue or not.

Clickers, failed extraction or what?
I think the most common problem is the bolt handle is not put on in the correct spot for primary extraction. When wrong the handle comes up and doesn’t contact the angled cam surface up there that starts the case extraction as the bolt moves. If it’s not correct it just comes up and sits there until you force the bolt backwards. This takes all the smoothness out of the design.

I have yet to see an RR with this problem. All have had plenty of primary extraction.
I would bet you can use your RR just as it is. You still haven’t stated what you plan to do with this rifle.
The ones I have seen probably did predate the RR actions.
