[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1262931"] There are several things regarding the Remington vs. any other as a platform for builds. [LIST] [*]Availability of "parts", mostly stocks and triggers. [*]Ease of fitting a barrel. Once the tenon is cut and fitted to the bolt nose spacing, the smith is done. There is no fiddly torquing the barrel, marking the extractor cut out (push feed) or other little after fitted and chambered machining to do. Which means less setups. [*]Sheer numbers. [*]Cost of donors for first builds. [*]Smith's owners familiarity with platform. [*]Once setup with R700 format, owners stay with that and go for higher end clones. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
