MY dream gun
I personnally do not like Remington 700 actions. Call me old school, I like CRF. I have shot a custom 25-06 in Ruger that was wickedly accurate, wish it was mine. I currently want Remington 798 Mauser action, chambered in .308win with a 24" stainless barrel and a nice utility synthetic stock. I know this is pretty much a 798 SPS, with a stainless barrel. If you like the Ruger action, go with a Ruger. They might not be as easy to get bedded, but I also think they are more forgiving in the bedding area because of the angled action screw, it seems to pull things tighter and hold better so pillar bedding is not needed. Maybe I am against the 700 because everyone thinks they are the best out there. I would dissagree, There are more custom 700 rifles because from the factory they do not shoot so turning it into a custom rifle is the only way to save face.
