Default RE: Browning Abolt, Rem 700 Need Help with choice

I have had all three. I love the 70 action over all others. I have used 700 actions for custom rifles. I used to give people a hard time over the jap browning. But I found a medallion in perfect condition for 450 dollars in a 308. so I said, what the hey and bought it. It is the only rifle, I didn't have to take to the gunsmith for something.

Finish was perfect, trigger was crisp and at 3lbs. Barrel was freefloated perfectly. Took out of box and shot 1" groups with my tried and trusted 165gr gameking, 46gr of varget and 210 primer. I no longer say anything bad about Browning rifles. It just works.

I love my mod70's but it was a long road to get it to shoot like my medallion. Had to get the 6lb trigger down to 2.5lb, and had to have glassbedded, and barrel floated.
