The good shooting, smooth operating cheap rifles like Tikka and RAR are gradually taking the appeal away from an expensive gunsmithed M700 with custom barrel, custom trigger, and stocks that don't shoot much if any better.
While I said what I said above about acceptable accuracy, i'll also note that as long as I"ve not been talked into a douglas barrel, my smithed 700s all shoot around .5 moa and under CONSISTENTLY, and at yardage, which is generally speaking, quite a bit, IMHO, better than factory rifles...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
