[QUOTE="Brent, post: 8692, member: 99"] Either one. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] 700 has unlimited options, so what your ultimate goal is with it should be a good guide. If you really like the AR30 and it's what you want just the way it is, it would certainly be a good choice. It's very well built, has a 5rd drop magazine, floating bolthead, very accurate, my Dads clean super easy, comfortable to shoot, adjustable trigger, large recoil lug and other nice things. It's definitely worth the money if it's near what you want the way it is. Downfall is, possibly, the magazine will not fit anything with a shoulder longer than 338 Ultra Mag, a 300 Ultra won't fit in it, neither will the longer Weatherby cases. Single shot would have to do, just so you know now. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Then again, the 700 won't fit the big Weatherby cases unless bullets are seated way deeper than optimal. What I would consider if it were me: 1) What stock do I like better? 2) What does a 5rd drop magazing mean to me? 3) Ultimate goal with the rifle? 4) How much do I want a stainless steel rifle, or chro-mo steel? 5) Brass cost, and ready to reload for it? 6) Do I like Remington brass, it is cheaper? 7) One has a muzzle break, the other is an extra cost? 8) One leaves me money for scope base, rings, bullets, brass and powder, immediate rerbarrel and or rechamber to what I want before I lay out cash for dies and brass? 10) Do I plan on rebarreling and chambering in a custom right away? 11) Anything Else? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Good luck, should be an easy decision. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
