So I've got a plan to build a .260 within the next year or so...I'm just starting my research (I've got a lot to do as I don't squat). I'll probably buy a used REM 700 short action.

I currently own two 700s, 30-06 (cheap buy from Walmart) and a 300 WM (nice hand me down from the old man). The 30-06 has a sloppy/loose bolt (when open) and the 300 WM is pretty tight. This had me questioning.... When I'm out looking at rifles should I be looking for a specific model of a 700? Years it was made? Something tight? Will "truing" tighten up a sloppy/loose bolt?

Thanks
