So I just bought a new Remington 700 sps 7mm and decided to take it to the range tonight. I fired the first shot and then I couldn't eject the cartridge. I waited a few minutes to cool the gun down and finally got the round out by banging the poop out of it. I took a look at the casing and seen that the brass had gouges around the base! It looks like the extractor is the problem. Then I tried to eject an unfired round and had the same issue. This is the first remington rifle I have owned and probably the last. I hope the store will take it back. After reading these posts my confidence in remington is very low.
