[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 366545, member: 5302"] Here's the advantages the Winchester 70 has over the Remington 700: * Magazine charges more reliably from stripper clips, either from the clip guide milled into the receiver bridge or a screwed on clip guide. And the 70's magazine feeds rounds more reliably. * Extractor's more reliable; either the original claw style or newer sliding one in the bolt face. * Safety is more reliable and locks the firing pin, not the trigger. * Easier to operate in rapid fire with better shaped and longer bolt handle. * Easier to swap barrels on with its recoil lug intregal with the receiver. * Classic controlled round feed versions easier to remove fired cases from in single fire operation. * Winchesters 70's are near 3 times stiffer than Remington 700's. * Receiver doesn't twist a bit loose from epoxy bedding after a few hundred rounds with bullets heavier than 165 grains and has to be rebedded. Winchester Model 70 based match rifles have shot smaller test groups at the longer ranges that most benchrest records. [/QUOTE]
