RE: Remington cdl 700 or Browning A-bolt Medallion?
I hunt in rugged conditions and in a harsh climate where simpler is better.The less parts,the less chance of problems.I can easily adjust the trigger pull on my 700 rifles to well under three pounds with no replacement parts required.The remington detachable mags has proven to be trouble free for me,and they are simpler and quicker to install and remove.As for the 60 degree bolt,I didn't find it to be an advantage,and my 700 actiona are just as smooth.One thing that you must be aware of,is that the a-bolt action is seldom used to build custom guns.Obviously more people prefer the 700 action,or this would not be the case.If more people liked the a-bolt,the aftermarket companies would be selling a much greater variety of aftermarket parts,and more gunbuilders would be building rifles on a-bolt actions.
