Roskoe. You are right. The poll on this very site shows that more than twice as many people prefer Remington to any other brand and I quess doubles the next two choices. Can,t be a fluke. I have had a couple rifles built on 700 actions but only because I couldn't get left hand bolts that I wanted or I had shot out the original barrel. This I did on at least two rifles. A 308 and a 30-06. Are they perfect? No are any of them perfect? No.
