Hello all,

A little while back Mad Dog expounded on the positives of the Model 70 in the "Ideal 7.62 /.308" thread http://www.thefiringline.com/NonCGI/...ML/000232.html and provided what seemed like to me (which isn't saying much) a sound argument for it's superiority over the Rem 700 action.

I went and visited a local dealer and asked what he thought about the Win Model 70 compared to the Rem 700. He said that the superiority of the Win Model 70 over the Rem 700 was a bunch of BS. His only argumetn though was that "the only thing you see in competition is the Rem 700, you never see the Model 70."

Help a newbie out and clarify some of this? The dealer didn't have as well executed argument as Mad Dog, however, it the MOdel 70 is better then why isn't it being used in competition?

Thanks

Spencer Stewart
