My wife purchased a 7mm. Mag. Remington rifle from academy in Houston tx. 12-10-05. December 18 we tried to load the rifle and the bolt would not close. It was a defective rifle. We contacted Remington and they advised us to send it to Paducah Shooters Supply. 3919 Cairo St. Paducah Ky, 42001.
The day they recieved it, they shipped back out saying they fixed it. When we got it back I noticed that the ejector assembly, (the extended lip inside of the bolt) was crushed in from using excessive force. At this point the gun bolt would close, but would not properly eject the ammo. I called Remington and told them shooters supply screwed up the bolt. They made me send it to the factory in NY.
About three weeks later we got the gun back. The little lip that was crushed in was not fixed, they just went ahead and completly removed it and sent it back. Now the gun does not eject properly. Every rifle like that I have seen or owned has that lip on the bolt. I have a suspicion that the barrel was pressed in so far that the bolt would not close when charged, making the gun totally defective.
One would think that as large as Remington is, that they would know the quality of thier gunsmiths. And after sending it to the factory, we thought that we would get professional results. But they did almost the same thing the gunsmith did trying to cover up the real problem. It's been almost a month and 1/2 and the gun is still not fixed.
A word to the wise. Once you have signd the yellow form and paid for it, the piece sh*t is yours.
