[QUOTE="FatBoy..., post: 1366442, member: 349"] I have had this debate as well, with guys just getting into shooting mostly. The vast majority of my rifles have custom actions and none have stock barrels except my 788. Accuracy has never been a selling point, as I think out of the box they are both about the same and neither has good twist rates. I personally prefer M70s. I like the integral lug. I like the simplicity of the trigger. I like the 3 position safety and the functions it allows. like that it's not going to fire when I take it off safe ;) and to a lesser degree, I like the sweep and feel of the bolt handle. That said... I generally steer new guys toward M700s or clones if they won't pony up to a custom action. Most of my buddies will eventually upgrade the parts on the rifle and there are 100 M700 stocks out there for every m70 and these guys have zero patience. Funny the things we will dedicate time towards.... [/QUOTE]
