Remington 700 is kinda modeled after the Mauser system, the Rem's have a single rail system vise Mauser's 2 rail system......I prefer the Mauser action...its top notch. Savage's 12 series has really smooth action on there bolts. Sako's are pretty nice......a little trick I learned to smooth out a bolt is to take toothpaste and squeeze it in the bolt system and just work that action while your watching TV......man i smooths it right out
