What is the most desirable prefix for 700 rifles? I hear folks talk about it, but I’m curious why you choose the one you prefer?

I wouldn’t necessarily say desirable, but my gunsmith prefers the RR prefix opposed to others.

C is my preferred and they all shoot great, in my view better than A or B

I especially like the ones that start with a numeral, not a letter. If I see a 700 with pressed checkering on a rack, I will look at it and fondle it - if the price is right it goes home with me.
I have A, B, C & RR. I like them all actually. (Exceptions though)
I think that when RR came out, Remington used more computer control and were the most consistent/accurate dimensions.
Of the A, B & C are concerned I think the C prefix is the most desirable by some Remington guru’s I know. I’m not sure that I can detect differences.
I like the original Walker trigger the best. Walnut = best, blued finish = best
The least desirable for me are the rifles with the early synthetic stocks and the ones with the j-lock firing pin and the very worst = rifles with the detachable magazines (detachable magazines = yech!)
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
