Sorry Rem700 but your just plain sick

I do not nor will I ever probably own a 700 remington, they are awful. I cannot put my finger on what it is about them I dislike so but they don't feel right. A friend has one a 700 VSS in .223. sure his is accurate but then he did buy it in about 1985 but even he admits his win 70 heavy barrel synthetic stocked rifle he brought about 3 years later leaves in in the dust for accuracy.

For me I prefer traditionly made firearms forged bolts and recievers not tubing with brazed on bits, but hey it's your money .

As for the .270 win well I like it but it's been an unlucky cartridge for me it was the first full bore cartridge I had and I have yet to take a beast with it. It always seesm that when I get a beast in my sights when carrying a .270 rifle that it's either the wrong beast, wrong sex and out of season or it's an unsafe shot

However just now I am starting to play with a 6mm Remington chambered Parker-Hale 1200V with heavey barrel. The brass just arrived this morning so now I can start, got the dies last week
