For the guys who say the 700 is superior to a Tikka, what are you basing that on? Besides the fact that one has spawned many more copycat custom actions, which I am not all that sure is because it's better at all. But either way, if someone doesn't want or need to customize a rifle, or build a custom, kind of not applicable. I'll give the 700 receiver the fact that its cylindrical and easy to machine on? lol.
Just curious. I have no dog in this fight and like both rifles. Just simply wouldn't know what makes a 700 better in any way. I'm no Tikka fanboy, and it is not obvious. I've greatly enjoyed older Remingtons like the 700 Classic in 6.5x55 but I am not sure about "better" vs "just as good". Would appreciate some objective reasoning.
