I just ordered a 700 CDL because I love the look and feel of them and I already have all the stainless/synthetic stock rifles I want. I had a Savage model 16 Weather Warrior w/accu-trigger that I sold a couple years back. The only complaint I had with the rifle was the synthetic stock. It was the weakest and cheapest synthetic stockI have ever felt on a rifle that actually fires bullets! I almost bought a laminate replacement stock for it but let a friend talk me out of it.
