A couple of things I like about the Mauser over the Remington are the safety and the CRF. The safety is dead safe, when it is on the rifle will not fire. I like the fact I can push the round down from the bolt face and back into the magazine with a Mauser, with the Remington I have to jack the round out and then put it back in the magazine. I have owned a bunch of Mausers, all but one had aftermarket barrels, Timney triggers, and stocks. Once tuned I would put any of them up against your basic M700. However if you do the same to a M700 you will end up with a very accurate rifle also. If I were to build a specific match rifle of the two I would use a custom match action instead. Presently I have no M700 rifles but I still have 4 Mauser's and 2 Springfield's. They are all better than MOA shooters. Will I ever put any money into a 700 again, no.
