One of those that if you have to ask...That and of course their safeties actually WORK, their extractors aren't made of sheet metal, their handles aren't glued on and they are extremely accurate. The CRF/PF, not that big of a deal in my book, but no question EXTRACTION is more reliable with a CRF, not to mention Professional Hunters, whose very lives depend on their rifle, almost to a man prefer the CRF. One thing is for sure though, if you are into smaller calibers that fit in short actions, then look elsewhere...anywhere besides a 700 that is...


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
