[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 1993287, member: 115658"] I have 1 Rem 700 and my impression is that they are essentially a precision design - like an assembly of round tube type forms, receiver, bolt, and barrel with bolt head and handle attached as separate pieces. It appears like these parts can be precision machined and assembled about a common axis. I would expect less work would be needed to "true" stuff up than other designs. The only complaint that I have with my Rem 700 is that it requires somewhat of an effort to open the bolt to start the extraction process and I put a dab of grease on the bolt handle root and bolt lugs. I inspect every thing including fingernail extractor, ejector, and brazed on joint between bolt body & handle, bolt head after each use/cleaning. Inletting the tubular receiver into a stock was very easy using a barrel channel scraper with other tools for trigger, recoil lug, & safety. I had the receiver face squared up & recoil lugs lapped in. The original recoil lug was retained, I get predictable precision results with it - a 7.7 twist .22-.250. I shoot steel & rodents with it. I rather spend the extra money on bullets & scopes. CNC methods combined with optimized plant location & design will always be able produce more higher grade precision products at competitive prices. I realize the Rem 700 action has been subjected to all sorts of demanding situations such as military service in Viet Nam but I prefer my controlled feed, non rotating extractor bolt actions for field shooting and regard my single Rem 700 as a fair weather rifle.
