Seems to me that 700s and savages are popular with a lot of different crowds. Hunters, target shooters, tactical wannabes etc.
Winchesters are popular with some hunters...and they have changed a bunch of times with model changes and ownership changes etc.
Thats my guess
That makes sense. Rem 700 actions and all of the designer clones are commonly used for everything from deer rifles to tactical rifles to benchrest rifles. When I think of Win M70’s the niche is probably controlled round feed big game hunting rifles and so less need to swap out or order custom stocks ect for what is a generally narrower set of uses.
