[QUOTE="winmag, post: 832730, member: 22166"] +1 I absolutely Love the Model-70 action, & will continue to use them for every forseeable build I do. I prefer the integral recoil lugg over having a "spacer" or "washer" if you will, for a recoil lugg. IMO, the strength in the Model-70 action trumps the shortcut advantage of the 700. Personal preference. I also prefer the 3 position safety, & extraction design. You'll never want for aftermarket support with either the Model-70 or the Rem-700. It's strictly a matter of personal preference, & a quality, component gunsmith. Both are great actions. I'm just a Model-70 fan. I had my 300WSM built on a Long Action Model-70, that started life as a 30-06. It cycles properly, & shoots tiny lil groups consistently with RL-17 & 180 Accubonds. It wears a fluted #4 taper 26" Hart 10 twist with a Mini Muscle brake. Had it throated for 200gr Accubonds, but have yet to try them due to the excellent performance of the 180's. I will give the 190 Long Range Accubonds a whirl when I get some. I could care less about drops for this rifles intended purpose, & range, but I like the idea of less wind drift, & 1300 fps vs 1800 fps expansion threshold. Mine is strictly a LR hunting rifle inside 1k, but if I was punching paper or steel, out past that, the BC of the Bergers would be tempting. If I was whackin' Elk at or past 1k I'd just as soon bump up to a big 338 anyway. [/QUOTE]
