Most factory rifles can be made even better. I've been using a Remington 700 Classic for 41 years and have never had a problem. I bought an old 721 a while back with a broken extractor. I'll machine the bolt for a Sako style. That would be a good mod to do on any 700. If oil is present inside the trigger assembly in cold weather you might have problems. the pre 64 model 70 trigger is simple and easy to clean. I never cared for the tang safety on the Rugers. Just too much linkage. Weahterby. Excellent. We've got allot of fine choices to pick from!
