I have always been a Winchester Model 70 or Mauser guy. Also Mosin as some of y’all have seen here. A few months ago however I bought a Remington 700 in 35 Whelen on a deal I could not pass up. It is a delux model with 24 inch barrel that was made back in the 80s I believe and was unfired. Today I put a scope on it and took her out to the range. Was just some standered scope rings and a swarovski scope. I put 40 rounds of Remington ammo through it and had some scary issues. 4 times when closing the bolt it fired. 1 times when taking off the safety as well. I have never had this happen to any gun I have ever owned before. For now, its back in the safe with the bolt out of it. I called Remington but it was late in the day. I got put on hold and after 20 min I hung up.
Has anyone had this issue before? Is there something you did to fix it? Was really hoping to enjoy this rifle and today as I really only get out to shoot 1 or 2 times a year now. This really put a sour tast in my mouth for my first Remington.
