Money no object, Sako. Money tight Tikka. Love my new Sauer, but don't have years with it yet.

Pre-64 Model 70 - the action length offers any choice I'd ever need.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

Exactly!
Stick a scope and bipod on it and it weighs as much as a naked M70.....

Win 70 style CRF, particular brand doesn't matter, but this is my favorite action.

Sorry, I thought in a firearms forum we should discuss firearms. Now that you've informed me that is silly, I think my next thread will be a comparison between the 428 and 429 Cobra Jets. And I might toss the 427 side oiler for good measure.  Know how to build a 454 Ford?

Remington Model 700. Accurate, easy to bed, and accessories are readily available.
I've owned (and liked) other makes, but have come to like the 700 best of all.
Only a fool would sell an accurate .30-06

mike -
I'm posting w/o reading this thread first so I don't know what others have said.
I have and have had MORE Rem 700s than all others combined. I've had R 77s all tangers, Win 70s all PF. I have a Tikka T 3 since 2003.
I only owned one B B R -> problem child.
Having said those things:
I could live with OLDER Rem 700s, Win 70s, &/or Tikka (Sako)
You pick, I'm happy.
Jerry
now I'll read the whole thread.

They're getting crazy with tall deck Windsor blocks, but the old way I'm thinking of is a 428 crank in a 427 block.

The 700 Remington hasn't even made an appearance yet!
Winchester 70 is running away with this. It goes to show what <<knowledgable>> shooters trust.
I didn't get far. I --KNOW-- how many trouble free yrs Rem 700s have given me. First Hand Knowledge. I don't have to take somebody else's word on it. And I know how to spell knowledgeable.  Jerry

I would run with either a 70 stainless classic or a MKII/hawkeye stainless.
