I have great respect for the Remington 700. I have hunted with one for more than 30 years. However, I feel there are two small problems:
First, I found mine was shooting erratically and decided to get it re-bedded. My gunsmith told me it was never bedded in the first place, despite it coming from the Remington Custom Shop.
Secondly" the push-feed bolt action, while very good for accuracy, is not ideal for a dangerous game rifle. I would prefer a Mauser type of controlled feed although I have never had a feed problem but have had ejection problems which one could also get with a controlled-feed action.
