Vapordog, what material do you base your claims? Just curious. I really can't say what is stronger. I just know I haven't had a failure from a 700 or m70 or mauser 98 action. I do know what I do like. I like a three lug design like on weatherby or browning, but i hate the safety on the browning. I don't mind push feed so much as long as it has a nice sako type extractor. I like a three positions safety also. But you really can't find an action with everything. Just curious on what criteria you base your statement on.
