The 700's are at the bottom of my action barrel. Trade it off for a better design.
Yes, Don, everybody knows that you hate the entire Remington 700 family because of that deer that you lost in the 1950s while shooting a 722 in 222. It is clear from the number of time that you have repeated your mantra, damning the Remington 700 series, that it was a traumatizing event in your life that you'll never recover from. But, nobody really cares that your blown shot a half century or more ago has made your distorted opinion on the Remington 700 series fall toward the "hate" end of the normal distribution of like/dislike. A majority of rifle loonies seem to like the Remington 700 series actions to build on for a variety of reasons and the majority of custom actions are improvements on the Remington design. You are arguing with success and losing badly.
Or so it seems to me.
