Rem 700 XCR LR - Whats going on here

[cptseawolf]

So I have 50 rnds of federal match 69gr SMK down the pipe, and decided to clean her again today.

She is brand new from Epps and this is literally all shes shot.

There is a small scratch of front edge of bolt, small longitudinal scratch on brass and seems like a small ding in the chamber....

Should I just call Epps, or Remington, or fix myself?

Call Epps and see what they can do.
They should contact the Remington distributor for you or Remington directly.

Looks like a piece of debris got jammed between the bolt and the barrel.
Or somebody dinged it against a hard object at the factory before assembly.

I emailed Epps.

The ####ty part is the gun shoots really good.

If it's a shooter, I wouldn't worry about it. Looks like what was there is gone, but if you're a steady hand just knock out the burr where it protrudes in to the chamber...harmless otherwise.
