Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ganyana on Rifle Power

I'm not understanding the bashing of Remington 700 actions. The tolerances are not as close for sure, but the fact of the matter is that is a good thing for functioning. Other actions with tight tolerances fail in like conditions

I own a few of them in both hunting and competition configurations; they operate great in the harshest conditions. When I say that, I'm talking about sand, dust, dirt, wind, rain and every other type of crap thrown at it when it MUST work like match shooting over a period of days and hundreds of rounds. Ya got to be able to run the bolt and run it quickly. I've done well with them. Wasn't the Remington 700 the choice of the military for sniper work? I would think it was chosen for the same reason.

I don't think I'd be ascared to take one to Africa.


As far as the dude, Ganyana, and his top 3 list, everything JohnBurns has written is right; the guy is accurate about 33% of the time.
