[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 961830, member: 1290"] When other smiths call me to see how to make it work I frequently find they are trying to fit the barrel like you would on a Remington. They are slightly different in a couple spots and if you haven't figured it out you will hate them and blame the action. There is no need to get all 9 lugs bearing evenly on a Mark 5 to get it to shoot. The bolt is far more stable under pressure than the 2 lug arraignment found on the sloppy fitting 700. The Mark 5 is my favorite factory action to build on. I could go on and on of the benefits all of which do nothing to earn me money. The 700 is a gunsmiths posterchild of an action in need. [/QUOTE]
