[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 643422, member: 5302"] The Remington 7XX action's popularity started in the 1950's when benchresters wanted something better than Mauser actions for their accuracy gambling game. Remington came out with their .222 Rem. cartridge in the 722 rifle and when fit with a decent heavy barrel, it shot the pants off anything fired from a Mauser action. And one could buy a Rem. 722 barreled action dirt cheap, too. Their triggers could be easily reworked down to a 2 or 3 ounch pull weight. Those round receivers were easy to sleeve in a rectangular aluminum block so they wouldn't twist out of good epoxy bedding fit when more powerful cartridges were used. And the fact that Remington's barrels were the most accurate of all the factory ones for decades helped their popularity. [/QUOTE]
