RE: Browning and Remington
I myself, think the a-bolts are built better and I like the bolt throw of the browning better. The browning is a better all around rifle, trigger adjusts alot easier than the remington. Browning also has glass work done from the factory.

RE: Browning and Remington
I believe they are about the same, but I suspect Browning still has better quality control, especially on any guns that are made in Japan (we tauight the Japs all they know aboutquality control -now they have it, and we,ve forgotten about it!!).

RE: Browning and Remington
I own both. However my 700 is my mainsaty hunting rig. I don't like the magazine system either. I also don't like the tang anymore either, used to think it was alright but now find it a pain in the butt. Bolt throw is nice and smooth but I haven't noticed a difference when it matters, in the field! Both have have been reliable and good shooters.
Pick whichever fits best and you'll be happy.
Anthony, I hate to rip on you(again
) but I haven't heardmany make such a claim. My abolt required a new spring as well as honing and polishing to get to 3lbs...this seems to be the norm for most I have talked with. 700'sIMO are the easiest factory trigger to adjust(the savage accutrigger excluded of course).

RE: Browning and Remington
I've owned and still own both of the rifles you mention. I prefer the A-Bolt rifle over all other factory bolts with Tikka being a real close second.
The magazine system on the A-bolts is a lil too complex, but it is very nice for loading/unloading and safe handing. The 60 degree bolt throw is also very nice, especially in cold conditions when you have big bulky gloves on.
