When I finally saw this 700 Police in .300 win mag in stock, I bought it right away. Once I recieved the rifle, I took it straight to the range, and was excited to shoot it. However, after I shot the very first round, it would not eject from the chamber. And this happened almost every round. So, I switched to a different ammo, and the exact same thing happened. Every two or three rounds, the extractor on the bolt would not grip the brass well enough, and the brass would get stuck in the chamber. I ended up trying a 3rd type of ammo with the same results. The extractor on the bolt is garbage and failed to eject the brass 85% of the time. Thats pretty darn horrible in my book! I know magnum calibers inheriently have issues with normal extractors, but come on...failing to extract 85% of the time...thats basically not even working at all. I'll end up having to get several hundred dollars worth of work done to it just to make the rifle operational, which is pretty redicilous considering a brand new rifle is susposto work right from the start. Remington did a very bad job with this firearm.
So now i've got a very unreliable rifle that you could NEVER trust in a tactical, combat, or life & death situation, It was a waste of a thousand bucks. From now on I will never buy a mangum caliber rifle again, will stick to .308.
