Default Remington XCR opinions......

I currently have a left handed Browning Stainless Stalker in 7mm. Rem. Mag.
While the rifle is very accurate and balances well, I'm just not as impressed with the build quality of the Browning as much as the Rem. 700.
The bead blasted stainless barrel and receiver on the Browning S.S. is nice, but the bolt, trigger guard, and floorplate just look like they've been spray painted silver to me. I can't really find any flaws in how the rifle WORKS.....but it just LOOKS kinda' cheap to me.

So....I'm looking at the Remington 700 XCR in a left handed model or possibly even the Remington CDL and then have the metal work weatherproofed.

Do any of you folks think the bolt and receiver of the 700's look and feel at little better built also?

Just trying to get some opinions.
