I've been eager to start a .300/WTF on a bolt gun for quite some time but been mulling over the base platform. I was hoping that Remington would start a factory production run of the BlackOut but after several requests for information the replies were less than helpful.
Mainly based on superstition and religious preference I've settled in on a Remington 700 action. (It's what I know and love as well as have plenty of spare parts); That coupled with the fact that they're now offering a $75 mail in rebate on the purchase of an SPS Varmint:

My question now becomes, how frequently are extraction issues seen with .223 bolthead configurations in .223 and .204 or is it worth trying to track down and purchase one in a .17 Fireball?
