For a fine hunting rifle the 7XX actions by Rem lack features and detail that make it wanted.

I prefer the machined look of an older Winchester or mauser.
The 7xx's lack CRF, safeties on the firing pin. I want the forged, machined metal of upscale work.

I learned to appreciate that effort by growing up in my dad's tool and die shop and knew what a 'Bridgeport' meant.
