[QUOTE="rdm, post: 227911, member: 1053"] Dave, Thanks for the compliment that rifle gets quite a few for some reason. I guess the test your speaking of is an action "flex" test? I could understand the M70 testing better in that type of test as it has the integral lug and all that flat metal under the action where is it is actually bedded to the stock. Where as the M700 is a round "cylinder" screwed to the stock. The M700 probably has more actual suface contact with the stock than the M70. JE, Glad you still have a home. I work for an Electric co. that has been doing power restoration around Baton Rogue and Laffayette. My crew was going to Texas and work following Ike but they decided to keep us home because 2 fellow lineman had a contact accident last night. Anyway, the action wouldn't have to be 3x as thick if it is machined with "gussets" along the length of the action or has a flat bottom as some custom single shot actions do. That doesn't mean it will handle 3x as much pressure, it just flexs 3x less. Am I understanding this correctly? If the M70 flexs .006", for example, the M700 would flex .018" if anchored to the same barrel. Anyway, you didn't hurt my feelings.
