Default RE: Win mod 70 vs. Rem 700 CDL

I guess i'm the odd man out, I'd take the Remington.

I like the 22" bbl much better in a non mag cartridge, than the 24". The 24" just doesn't give you enough added V to worry about!! You won't see the difference on game, but you will when your carrying that longer bbl in the brush!!

All of my std. Rem.'s hold 5 shells. 4 In the mag, and one if the chamber, and even if it only held 4 total, it's still more than enough!!

As for the trigger, i'm only going to ajust it once, so to me that's a wash!!

One thing is for sure!!! "if" you need to bed either one, the Rem. is a LOT easier to bed!! That round bottom just is easier to deal with, and i've yet to have a new out of the box model 70, shoot better than a new out of the box 700!! (in the same bbl weight and cal.)

Haveing said all that, if you REALLY want a Win., get it!! AS you won't be happy later if you don't!!
