[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 910421, member: 4191"] 1) Free floating is better for consistent accuracy and minimizing POI shift from month to month and in different weather conditions. Non free floated barreled actions can be accurate rifles, but their POI after zeroing is more likely to change from month to month, IMO. 2) Sako will cost more than Tikka, but have no better barrel IMO. The action may be different between the two. The Tikka line can be just as accurate as the Sako line, and I wouldn't buy the Sako, unless there was some feature you needed that was only available in the Sako line of rifles. Again - my opinion. 3) Can't help much with this as I don't use factory 700s. Lots of guys are using 700s which have been modified and blueprinted by gunsmiths. The Remington Sendero is the one Remington 700 model that guys seem to have good luck with from the factory. They are a heavier rifle with a heavier contour barrel. I've read just a little about the trigger issue in days gone by. I don't see members mentioning it on this Forum, and don't give the issue tremendous credibility. It may have once been a problem, but it's difficult to believe Remington could remain in business if it was a real and continuing problem. [/QUOTE]
