Hard to argue with the 700, & I'll go a little further & say specifically the KS series from around '85-2000'ish.

Every single one in several calibers I've either seen or owned has been an absolute hammer, accuracy wise.

With stocks just made for my taste with the best tuned factory (CS) triggers I've uver used in a hunting rifle.

Also the early Ti series, IMO.

Also gotta call out for the early (pre safety) Marlin 1895's.

As for cartridges, definitely the 7-08, which runs right with the new darling 6.5 Creed, with good BC bullets.

Also, the 45-70 in handloads with modern bullets from 300p-400 gr with modern powders in modern rifles like the Marlin 1895 & Ruger #1, within it's range limitations. An absolute hammer on game.
