i have had some i really liked. i had a few issues with a 700 mountain in 7mm08. i sent it back because the stock had warped. they ground out a little wood and sent it back. i traded it soon after. i have had them in magnum calibers too. i had a 700 .416 remington mag i really liked. i traded it to an AH Fox 20 gauge and really wish i had the rifle back now! i personally like Ruger M77 rifles. my dad had one in '06. i still have it of course. i have them in calibers from .30-06 to .458 lott. i like the beefy mauser style action with the monstrous extractor. i have never had a failure from any of them. they are not target rifles or tactical rifles, they are hunting rifles. i have friends who trade off a rifle if it wont shoot ragged one hole groups at long range and the like. i sight in on the bench and then do a lot of offhand shooting and other practical real life shooting positions. that said i consider the M77s in general to be very accurate. i know there are alot of 700s that shoot those ragged holes though.
