I bought my 700 in 30-06 in 1990 and have never had to hammer the bolt open. Excellent shooter. I did put a B&C stock on it, don't like shiny wood. Don't know a thing about the new one's except what I read here. New production? 32 years old!

When you say new, do you mean post most recent bankruptcy and selling of assets? Not my statement, but likely...yes. New production by the new owners after a complete & total shutdown of the bankrupt Co. Now called Rem-Arms I believe.

He also said that the chamber was bigger than a standard 308 chamber, and was probably a 7.62 NATO chamber. Bigger where? He said that it would almost close on a 7.62 NATO No Go Gauge. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

LGS had one in stock (SPS) in 6.5 CM. As others have said it seemed like a decent rifle. The owner of the shop is a long range shooter and said that the 700s he has played around with have been very accurate and he personally hasn't had any issues with them He is admittedly a 700 guy but modifies them pretty heavily. They were asking $599. It was sitting next to a NIB Tikka T3x for the same price. The action on the Tikka was smoother if that means anything.
