Remington 700 as a safari rifle anyone?

[R eight]

I have been two places with 120+ actual degree heat. Djibouti on the equator and the Mojave desert.

So, no one hunts in 120 degree heat. Most people have never even experienced 120 degree heat.

Yes in the 90's.

Kind of like -40. It is fashionable for jackasses to say they hunt elk in =40 in Montana.

Doesn't happen.

M700 m40 and m24 sniper rifles have killed thousands of people at 120+ degree heat in Iraq.

So the point is moot.

The Remington 700 that we can buy off the shelf has very little in common with the model 700 sniper rifles that are extensively modified and used by the US military as sniper rifles.
Back in’93 I was lucky enough to visit Quantico and have a play with military 700 sniper rifles. They had Remington on the action but that’s where the similarity finished.

I’ve had a 700 factory extractor fail in the field. Problem solved by fitting a Sako/M16 type extractor.

I had used model 700’s for a couple of decades with thousands of rounds shot through them without a problem….. and then one failed at the worst possible time.
