[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1149114, member: 24284"] "Horse pucky!". Check the new 'high end' rifles. Those SPS are made to be priced as low as possible so WalMart can sell 'um at a low price. Hence, they don't have the 'slickness' of higher end rifles. At least the new ones are made on CNC equipment instead of being moved from jig to jig, machine to machine where every time it's moved error can be introduced. "Real" BR gunsmiths won't even consider building a BR rifle on [I]any[/I] 700. Their reputations demand custom actions. Build a BR rifle on a 700 and it's not competitive and you're no longer a BR gunsmith, just a guy who installs custom barrels. The steel used in both the new and old action would be comparable. Were not talking the difference between old school low carbon, that's case hardened, and modern alloys. [/QUOTE]
