so i went out got some new bullets (different company and 150 grain, use to be 180 grain) so the i shot those and the bolt is still sticking.....
its not like its a little dificult to open , no i am having to hit it hard and put a lot of force on the bolt to open it. no stretching of the bolt, nothign looks wrong with the barrel bolt or gun. kinda sucks that i need to either get it fixed ebfore season or pick up a new gun :/
if anyone has seen this before i would love to hear. its a remington 710 i know its a cheap gun but worked well bofore this, worked perfectly till about 1 month ago when it started acting up and have put prob 30 rounds though it before this incedent. well i am prob getting a 243 or 6mm for dear this year so i can also use it for yotes and bobcat(if its not a to big calliber). just wanted to vnet and see if anyone knows what to do maybe there is somethign i am over looking.

Also, it may not even be related to the chamber. Check to see if any assembly screws or scope mounts screws protrude into the bolt channel, and are causing binding, they may have been switched in error during your reassembly... sometimes, you can get the wrong screw in the wrong place, and this may cause trouble.

Not trying to be a jerk but I'd sell it. 710's have had nothing but problems and several recalls. They were discontinued because of that. I'd swap it out for a savage if your still wanting and inexpensive rifle. IMO it's not worth the hassle considering this probably wont be the last problem you have with it. Be done with it and save yourself the heartache.
This is exactly the kind of crap that I hate to see happen, it is obviously broken and yet you want to pass it on to another unsuspecting hunter, maybe even a youth hunter that would be extremely happy to have a new gun and then find out it is a lemon, how devastating that would be.
I would say to do your best to fix it weather sending it back to Remington or through a gunsmith but please don't pass it on to someone else unless you fully disclose it's issues :twocents:

Example, I just bought an item from someone that described it quite differently then it's actual condition and even though I have the means to fix it I was still upset that he would "get out of it" without letting me know exactly what I was getting.
Sorry if I made it seem as if you are a bad guy, it was not my intent. Just the idea in general is what I was trying to portray.

1. Too hot a load (not the case here more than likely cuz you're using factory.... have seen it w/ factory stuff one time though)
2. Ejector problem. Not familiar with the ejector on the 710 but I'm assuming it would be similiar to other Rems. Anyway if it is an ejector issue, it will normally act up even when cycling unshot rounds.
Also, doesn't the 710 have a plastic clip magazine? You may want to try and cycling it without that in it. Or if it just a floor plate open it up so it isn't in play. I seem to recall that those 710s had issue with the magazines.
I don't think it would be burring in the chamber since it was working OK previously.... that's usually something you'd see right away. It doesn't sound like you've really shot it a ton so it seems less likely there's some major issue with the chamber itself :dunno:
I tend to agree with Gutpile on this. Life is too short to mess with a gun that doesn't perform. You may end up spending 100 bucks to fix a 250$ gun. May be better to just take your lumps and sell at a discount and move on.

Fair enough. I may have jumped the gun a little.
Nice pun! :chuckle:

Brass is different by manufacturer. Outside deminsions are the same but case thickness differs as does the way the brass expands when fired. In my opinion the best brass from mainstream brands is Federal. If not shooting Federal give it a try.

Nope. I have one and it has a metal clip with a rubber bottom (most likley for comfort)

This was with factory ammo.
I couldn't believe it.
POS.
Sorry if this isn't helpful, but it does seem to indicate a trend.
