Default RE: concern about the 700 mnt rifle

hehe any of you don't want those old remingtons i'll take them!!
prairie boy the model seven comes in 260 and i prefer it over a mtn 700.
I have two sevens and yes to sight in i wait between shots. but they are great guns. i'll have one on opening day in less than two weeks.
And whats this crap about the bolt will open in the safe position SO!
i think it is safer than brownings. i would rather know the gun was in the safe position to open the bolt than in the FIRE!!!
I keep a round in the chamber at all times when hunting !
I have muzzle control!
And the ruger ultra lights are nice give them a look. browning are nice . the only reason i won't buy one is that the safety position has to be on the FIRE position to open the bolt.
Now i will say that i am not happy with remingtons decision to put that plastic Klintoon key on the bolt shroud.they could put it on the gun but make it tasteful please!cheap looking!!
the ruger would be my next choice. they make it now in 300rem mag short action.
