Guess I'm a simple kind of guy cause if I were building a hunting rifle I'd most likely go the 700 route. I remember many years ago having a conversation with one of the guys up at Hart Barrels and long story short, I asked why they preferred to use 700's so much and the response was "cause they're so easy to make 1/2 inch guns outta"....He was a funny guy too cause of course I asked about an accuracy "guaranty" ? He paused for a second and said "well how do I know if you can shoot a 1/2 inch group..." We both laughed and I've been using them ever since.
