Picking a model is important which one would you pick and why,? Chamber is 30-06 money not an issue between them.
A bolt handle breaking off was the only problem? Where can I buy one?700 BDL why go cheap. Have had 3 700s only 1 had a problem over loads ammo seized 5he bolt and I broke the bolt handle off trying to get it open.
closer to half that, actually https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=remington+7600A 7600 runs a grand.
700 can be rebarreled. 7600 can , but a lot harder and costly. My choice, 700
Where are you finding these barrels? My 760 needs one. Thanks.Rebarreling a 7600 is easy. Much easier than a 700. Pop the old one off, put the new one in (no threading into receiver) , check headspace. ressemble rifle and test fire. Barrels are not easy to find, but not impossible.
Been there and done that. Originally a .223 bolt which I opened up for 6 PPC. One of these days I need to call PTG and see about getting a new bolt, then head spacing the rifle and getting it going again.only 1 had a problem over loads ammo seized 5he bolt and I broke the bolt handle off trying to get it open.
Its a 30-06 and I would like to keep it that way rather then reborn to .35.
