[QUOTE="chrishatley, post: 911194, member: 31600"] Haha, I hear ya! I haven't shot any x-bolts, but have shot several 700's and I own several m70's. The winnie actions seem way smoother to me and come with a better safety to boot. The only m70 I own without an aftermarket barrel is my .30-06 beat through the woods deer rifle. When I bought it, 1 1/2" groups at 100 were the norm. After floating the barrel, bedding the action, trigger job, and load development, 1/2" to 5/8" at 100 are the norm. Worked up a load in a friends m70 coyote that shot ragged holes. Those are the only 2 factory barrels i've been able to get to shoot that well. I couldn't get any of the 700's I've loaded for to shoot under 3/4". That doesn't mean someone else can't, or has not gotten better results, just my experience. [/QUOTE]
