Default RE: Anybody have expierence with Rem 700 mountain rifle lss?

I've always loved the 700 Mt. Rifle,the feel the lines etc. and planned to buy one recently..........Honestly the quality or "Something" on the brand new LSS I was holding didn't strike me as what I remembered from the first few regular Mt. Rifles I held many years ago. (With the floorplate).
The new one just felt "Sloppy" for lack of a better term.....safety had nasty side to side wobble, the bolth felt rattly etc.
I was actually disappointed as I was there with money in hand.

I wound up picking up a Ruger77 instead.......my 3rd Ruger bolt.

I am still keeping my eye out for a Mountain Rifle, but it'll be an older one, well cared for and in 7mm.08 hopefully.
I'm glad you guys like yours, they are pretty guns, I just couldn't pull the trigger on it (No pun intended)
