Re: Remmington model 700 good choice or all hype?

Hello Ripp,

Maybe I wasn't clear when I stated that Remington's take me longer to load than other actions. I mean that it takes me longer to put long, magnum sized cartridges into the magazine than it does with other actions. Once the cartridges are in the magazine, I have never had a problem with a Remington. In or out, or in any position, they feed well.

I can put 5, .458 shells into my CZ 550, plus one in the pipe a lot quicker than I can put 3 into my Remington in .375 H&H, let alone bugger around putting an extra round into the pipe on top of the other three. My Ruger's, Winchester's and Sako's (both AV's and 75's) are all quicker to stuff. The AV feeds and extracts better than any of them. The 75 is the worst. Probably a short mag thing.
