I am a model 70 guy so I don't have any experience with this. The post I replied to implied this was simply a cleaning op that fixes the weapon. That seems strange.
Having observed the Fudds in Colorado all my life I know the hunters who shoot maybe 10 rounds a year far outnumber the real shooters who hunt. You can't fix stupid.

No prob, Jack.
BTW, Remington trying to weasel out of admitting this known-for-years flaw, failing to address it squarely, and fixing it, is a disgrace. They'll fry for it. Deserve to.
In regard to that Mauser, I have been shooting a model 1896 6.5 X 55 Swedish Mauser in the field in for 5 decades. I bought it mail order for $40! (Nowadays selling for many hundreds!)

I replaced my Remington trigger with a Timney. I’m not mechanically inclined but the installation was easy.
Also replaced the stock with a Manners mini-chassis.
To: Paine in the Neck
Just drop in a Timney. It takes about ten minutes and a five year olds mechanical aptitude and youre good to go. Dont let Remingtons lawyers engineer your rifle. Agreed. Given the way the quality of other brands (especially Marlin) has plummeted since being merged with Remington's production, I'd be wary of letting them touch anything that I could so easily deal with.

My favorite flavor.
An old gun guy in my home town spent two hours talking me into buying my first Savage .308. I REALLY wanted a Rem 700, but this gentleman (who knew me well) kept putting the 110 in my hand and telling me that I wouldn’t regret it
Almost 15 years on, and he was right. The barrel is starting to get to the point where I might have to look at a replacement, but it shot better groups out of the box than many tuned rifles do after a few thousand dollars.

The rifle shoots better than I am normally capable. If I'm having a good day I can sometimes do same hole at 100 yds. It is my primary prairie dog gun. Routinely one shot one kill at 300 to 400 yards. Longest shot ever was 540yds. It took two shots but that was with a 55gr VMax Hornady Tap.

My favorite vintage Remington. No trigger problems.

Thank you. I’m a little disappointed that Freeper’s didn’t fill this thread to overflowing with Rem 700 photos. I guess it’s just another sign of constrained we are by living in under the Obama regime.

If you had your choice would you go for the .300 Win Mag, the .308 Win, or the .338 Lapua?

if you don’t reload, .308.
cheapest and most widely available.
.338 expensive and harder to find, but best long range of the 3.

like I say, if you reload, .338 is a good choice.
if you’re buying only factory loads, not so much.
