A couple of folks here posted some pretty factual issues with the 700s, but their emotions get in the way of reasoning and .....
Yep. Some love to hate.
My first 700 was a BDL in 75 OR 76. NEVER been without a FEW since. Thousands of rounds shot thru them.
NOT one of ANY of the 'common failures' have I nor friends experienced.
** Now I'm NOT saying there haven't been any failures, I know there have been.
It's my opinion the % of failures is small compared to the number of 700s in service by SO MANY people.
"emotions" ruling the page. Some love to hate.
I have very strong objections to 1 or 2 brands of rifles and I detest the appearance of 1 model of a rifle.
I don't go on any rant but I have expressed my opinion or preference a few times but I don't constantly beat the drum.
