    Rem Model 7 or Rem 700 for conversion?

    I'm considering a conversion from .243 Win to 22BR and would like to use either a Rem. Model 7 or Rem. Model 700 rifle. Which one of these rifle actions would I expect more quality and best accuracy? I previously posted this question under Gunsmithing but got no responses. Need some help...
