    From another forum:
    The extractor may be too far onto the bolt face. If you look at the extractor hook itself you will see it is beveled. As the bolt closes the case slides down the bevel and pushes the extractor outward, it then pops back out to engage the case rim.

    Sometimes the extractor comes too far out and blocks the cartridge. if you look at the bolt face from the front you might see the top of extractor where it is flat. The case can get hung up on the flat surface instead of sliding down the bevel. Use some solvent and clean the extractor, it may take some work if there are brass shavings.

    Also check the ejector, that is the plunger in the bolt face itself. Take a punch or other tool and push in on the ejector, it should become flush with the bolt face then come back up when the tool is removed.

    Turned out to be something stuck behind the ejector.

    call the manufacturer and get a return authorization, many even send you a shipping label (i.e. they pay for shipping both ways)

    but yes, that's the way all guns work. if it doesn't work, it goes back to the manufacturer not the retailer.

    Using all factory loads and NOT reloads?? Sure does sound like HS problem.

    Sportsman's policy is firearm sales are final at least in Grand Junction anyway. The only way to get satisfaction is thru the manufacturer. Best case scenario is that Sportsman's Warehouse takes care of the warranty issue. Buddies rifle had the same issue. His was a head space issue.

    Sportsmans will send It back for free if it's within a certain timeframe( 30days)

    When I worked there, I would say 5:10000 firearms would come back due to manufactures defects.
    Remington isn't the Remington they use to be, I personally had to send a few 870 back bc of problems.
    Like others have said, your serial number belongs to you now. Just give it 4 weeks and you should a repaired firearm and a write up of what was the cause for your issues.

    This is just my wild guess but did you buy an ADL package 700 ?
