RE: 700 mountain rifle or a-bolt hunter?
The Remington has a better trigger on it and is adjustable. The Browning is not. The Remington bolt has one of the strongest receivers and the best locking system of most modern day rifles. Except for the custom made receivers, Remingtons are used to make more competition rifles than any other brand. I think mostly due to the good stiff receiver, adaptability of the parts, etc. Like what was said earlier, the safety, magazine and other parts are superior also.
