I think everyone has pretty well covered the pro's and con's of said topic. I have a MRC99 action with a 26" Douglas ~#4 and a McMillan Sako pattern stock in 220 Swift. This rifle is the only rifle I have ever owned that could do a 1/2 group ALL DAY LONG;) However I own a Remington 700 with a #2 24" Tube chambered in 25-06, with a take off older Rem KS stock, that on a good day shoots 7/8" groups. Now by definition the Swift is the more accurate rifle. In all other ways the Rem takes the cake: balance pointability, offhand snap shots all go to the Rem. Both put that same Chit eatin' Grinn on my face.
