Hi Chris,

Welcome to the forum!

Great tips thus far and I'll add:

Get into the practice of detail cleaning and lubing the bolt and firing pin mechanism of the Rem700 after every shooting session.

Even if you have only fired once.

I have never had a misfire with my Rem 700ML in several thousand shots. I do replace the mainspring every 500 shots or so.

If you keep it clean and properly oiled after every shooting session, you will find the Rem 700 to be a very reliable weapon.

If you find that the firing pin is corroded, don't dispair yet. I have revived Rem700's by detail cleaning and repolishing the firing pin and assembly.

Let us know how things turn out,
