[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 618624, member: 5302"] Few folks these days remember the problems that came about shooting heavy recoiling cartridges from epoxy bedded round actions. The receiver twisted out of good contact after a couple hundred shots. Military teams tried using 2" long recoil lugs on their Rem. receivers but it didn't work. After putting a flat bottom and sides aluminum sleeve on them, they shot very well. They copied this idea from benchresters having the same problems. No such problems with Winchester 70 actions. I don't know of any round action shooting rounds burning more than 60 grains of powder pushing heavy bullets that's put 30 consecutive shots inside 6 inches at 1000 yards. Win. 70's have. The Win. 70 ones are near 3 times stiffer than the Rem. 700 ones, but that may not matter to some folks. [/QUOTE]
