Use the 700!!!!!

they have the most after market parts of any rifle. steer clear of the 770 and I dont know
anything about the 710 .

700 is the only logical choice

Thank you for the replays, I was pretty sure it should be the 700. But when I started looking I run iNto the others and just didnt know anything about them. Thanks Again

The 710 was the cheap set up that predated the 770.
They are both far(!!!!!!!!!) less suitable for a build than the 700.

700 la with a standard boltface is what you want. 30-06 or 270the or something of that nature

 

[meatyrem]

Yes along with the others. Go with the 700. As said before the 710 and 770 are cheap production with almost no after market parts.

will one of the cheap WalMart 700s work they have one for 386.00 with scope and everything. I would just use the action as I have been thinking of a 6.5-284 myself.

 

[orwapitihunter]

Yep a "Walmart Special" has the same basic action as the other model 700's.
The only real difference is the finish.

 

[screech]

It may be cheaper to get an sps if you want a hinged floor plate. I use facctory bdl bottom mettal and have never had a problem. I believe the wallmart specials are adl but I could be wrong. Justices a thought.

Or you can find a 721 LA or 722 SA. both are 700's but yes 700 only. By the way Ima looking for a good trigger and want the bolt lock 3 position would be find
