I think both rifles are decent,but the hogue stocks are junk.I have a couple and when shooting off a bipod they are not stiff enough.with very little effort you can twist the cross hairs right off the paper.ended up switching them out to laminates.

load master I have one for loading 45's,the only headache was the bullet feeder.threw that in the trash, and I just drop the bullet on by hand.it ended up being faster not chasing dropped bullets everywhere!!!!!

my 700 varmint gun shoots 40-52 grain bullets into one ragged hole at 100 yards,really opens up with 55's.this with imr 4198.

30-06 is a no brainer,if you only want one rifle.

any old military rifle with a bayonet !!!!!

the millet turret dials lock down and stay secure.

I have a 1 in 12 twist and shoot 40 grain noslers with 22 grains of 4198.it shoots them into a 1/2" at 100,I can't get the 55 grainers to very well.

my thinking,it's a tool not a jewel !

I use 22 grains of 4198 under a 40 grain nosler in my bolt .223 .it will shoot one ragged hole all day.

never had anything but great service from midway.

I own 6 model 700's and love them all.every single one will shoot 5 shots into one ragged hole at 100yds with handloads .that being said my newest one is almost 20 years old so I don't know what they are turning out these days. my son bought a 700 heavy barrel .308 a few years back that...

300 mag to much for elk ?

I bought a used 30-06 700 BDL in 1973 that I still use.
