This is hard for me to admit but I have never owned a Remington 700 despite living less than 100 miles from Ilion. In fact the only Remington I have ever owned is a 104 year old model 14 in 30 rem. I have not found or handled a new 700. I have handled several Bergara's which fit and balanced fine. Also have not shot either. I have hunted with several Browning rifles new and old (FN) models. My favorite bolt actions are my Mannlicher Schoenauer model 1905 and a customer mauser 98 in 7x57 made in Germany in 1940. I have not found a new bolt action that has any soul yet.
