[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1055503, member: 11717"] I'm not sure what you consider as "factual" but there are plenty of members here, including myself who have seen reduced fouling as a result of barrel break-in. You and the OP can take it or leave it. I will explain why the Vanguard/Howa and M70 actions are better. The receivers have integral recoil lugs. They have three position safeties. Reminington extractors are about the bottom of the line as far as extractors go. The Vanguard/Howa extractors are M-16 style. One of the first things anyone who owns and upgrades a 700 is to replace the extractor with an M-16 style extractor. Many, including myself replace the whole bolt. Vanguard/Howa's have one peice bolts... not sure about the M70 My M70 is CRF with a better extractor than the 700. The reason so many people build off the 700 action is it has the most after market parts and accessories available. [/QUOTE]
