[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 568045, member: 5302"] Keep the Winchester. It's receiver is near 3 times as stiff as the Remington (go measure them and you'll understand), more reliable to operate in rapid fire, and resists torquing out of perfect fit in epoxy bedding like any round receiver does. (Why are there flat sides on a nut?) Plus a more rugged and reliable extractor and the best safety on a box magazine bolt action rifle ever; it locks the firing pin, not the trigger. Nothing will shoot bullets any more accurate than a Win. 70 action. And it doesn't have to be pillar bedded; conventional bedded ones have shot groups equalling or besting current long range benchrest records. Too bad Winchester factory barrels were not all that accurate else their Model 70's would have outsold the Remingtons. [/QUOTE]
