Very cool video. Thank you. I love this rifle, been saving for one for a bit now. Have to wait a bit more cuz the COVID, no big. I know they dont come with glass. Ima just say, you should get lens covers. Not just so you can keep them clean, during cleaning, but all the time. Glass is expensive, protect it.
It really depends on your operating conditions. If you are working in extreme humidity, snow, sand or mud you may want to do so every month but since mine only get taken out for a sight in and a hunting trip I usually clean mine once a year at the end of hunting season.
I didn't disassemble this particular bolt as the owners manual says it is not necessary for basic cleaning but just looking at it, it seems very similar.
I do keep my 'other' rifles, carbines, pistols clean after each session...but my R700, I keep the barrel 'fouled' too until it begins to open up to over 1 MOA at usually around 330 rounds after a cleaning. Then I clean it and after 4 or so shots, it starts shooting 3/4 MOA again (1MOA is acceptable). The other parts, I clean and wipe down. Yeah the mild OCD in me had to take a second seat (because of my profession at the time) to keep the rifle shooting top notch for when it was needed. Although, bench rifle may be different, not sure. Anyone with bench experience, please chime in. Always good stuff to learn.
I agree with ya about cleaning and accuracy. I have heard that a lot of guys that shoot competitive bolt rifle will wait until the end of the season to clean the bores. Good stuff!
@@michaelbosisto6259 OK. Possibly take it to a gunsmith and have them show you disassembly. I did a bolt disassembly videon on the Remington 710. If you check that out, that may help you with your own bolt.
Dude, you didn't take the bolt down and you didn't even use a bore guide. This is not an effective way to clean a rifle. You need to use a rod with the proper brush. You need to remove copper.
Brad Allen Are they known for being trash? I was pretty impressed with the fit and finish overall. Performance was about what I would expect from a shooter such as myself.
@@travisp11 I really shouldn't be so blunt, for that I appologize. I in fact love the look and feel as well, but there are countless bad reviews and a history of issues in addition to bad customer service with these rifles. I've heard some true horror stories about guys getting royaly screwed by this company. If you want to know more go read on "snipershide.com" on some of the forums outlining specific details of what I'm referring to. In the precision world, yes they are known for being a not so great manufacturer.
Brad Allen hey man no worries. All that I known about them is what I have done at the range for a few tests and that is all. You aren’t the first person to mention this and in all honestly for what they charge for a rifle you deserve a premium customer experience. If they don’t offer that then they are a company best to be avoided. I do appreciate your reply and thank you!
@@bradallen9551 you’re not wrong my friend! I purchased 2 new 300 win mag Ridgelines. One for me and one for my father. They both have been back twice for separate problems!
This is my first rifle and this was thorough enough for me to clean it pretty good
Thanks for watching!

Very true. Not sure if my buddy has lens covers or not as he loaned me this rifle for the video.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness!!! Good Stuff!!! :-)
Great video, very informative and you make it easy to understand. I am so looking Forward to getting my hands on this rifle.
Ang Rough you are going to love it! Thanks for watching!
At what point should u break down the rifle more for cleaning taking the. Trigger and stick off?

thanks! very easy to understand!
Thanks for watching!
Nice cleaning vid as good detail info and bummer the rifle can't stay....Good stuff.....
Yup. Someday man, someday!
Important to keep those guns clean
Yup! I’m a bit OCD about it. I even do the same on my own firearms, not just those that I borrow for the channel.
Is this bolt the same disassembly and reassembly process as the standard Remington 700?
Good video, thanks for sharing.
I didn't disassemble this particular bolt as the owners manual says it is not necessary for basic cleaning but just looking at it, it seems very similar.
Yes they're exactly the same!

Well done
Thanks!
Just picked one up in 7mm rem mag. What’s the best way to break it in?
Some people like to take 3-5 shots and then clean the barrel, repeat that a few times and then you are good. You may want to call the company to ask.
One sweet rifle.
I already miss it!
That’s a negative on WD-40. Use a proper firearm lubricant.
Thank you. What tool do I need to disassemble the bolt so that I can clean the pin and the other internals? I have the traverse in .270
I have not done a bolt disassembly on this model. Does the manual give instructions on bolt disassembly or does it say not to disassemble?
@@travisp11 it makes no mention of it.

@@travisp11 Thank you
@@michaelbosisto6259 you are welcome!
Nice good video thanks
Thank you!
What kind of scope did you go with that 6.5
Check my channel, I do a range test with it. It was a Leupold but I can't remember which model. VX1 or something along those lines.
Dude, you didn't take the bolt down and you didn't even use a bore guide. This is not an effective way to clean a rifle. You need to use a rod with the proper brush. You need to remove copper.
The manual doesn’t recommend a bolt disassembly. As for the barrel, yes a brass brush and copper/brass solvent is always an option.
too bad there ain’t a vid for christiansen on how to make a decent rifle...

Please don't clean your rifle where you prepare and cook your food!
I wipe the counter top down with Clorox wipes after every cleaning.
