Nah only minor cratering on the firing pin strike and still a radius on the edge of the primer good to add a few more grains.

Quick load suggested about 135,000psi
The trigger puller is fine.
He had the $30 SSAA Insurance and they are paying for the replacement rifle under accidental damage.

That's pretty full on Seddo. It's extraordinary to see both the damage that has occurred to the rifle, but to also hear the shooter was OK.

Yikes! That is quite instructive for those considering a sako/m-16 extractor conversion on a Rem 700.

Amazing how much damage was done to so many pieces. Is there a part pictured that's reusable?

The trigger survived, it just needed a clean up. The rest of the parts are scrap.

That mount base might be alright with a little polish.

Scope blown off/buggered as well ??

The scope has a small dint from when the pin in the base decided it didn't want to be there anymore.
