the latest remington 700 actions tend to be much straighter - but yes they should have fixed the trigger issues.
The design of the action however is the best there is in terms of safety... and accuracy potential.

Tikka’s are no longer cheap, so you would think remington could retool to get there.

I’m also in the middle of doing exactly what you said - blueprinting some 700 actions.

I have had several Tikka's rebarrelled to non factory calibers for long range competition. I ask the gunsmith to check the action, he says there is nothing he can do as it is square and is as it should be. I have one factory Tikka that is < 0.4 moa 5 shots and <0.8 moa 10 shots at 1000 yards.

On the other hand Rem 700's are a cash cow for him.

Might I ask that you stop using that terminology?

Or at least provide us with your definition of the term?

Would the latest pistol accepted by our military, and obtainable in civilian clothes, be considered "military grade weapons"

English words matter.
