I became less impressed with Remington after I bought my Hill Country Rifle Harvester 7mm Rem Mag a few years ago. HCR did great work, as it was a very impressive shooter and overall fit and finish was superb. However, these Harvesters were based on a Rem 700 action. The project was taking longer than promised, so I asked them periodically for updates. Moral to the story was that HCR obtained and examined no less than 10 Rem 700 actions to find exactly one action that would meet their criteria, before the work started. Not a good testimony to Remy's quality of work IMO.
Tikka by a mile.
