The Mk10 was much higher quality than the Rem or Chas Daly 98s which are pieces of sheeot. Not that the 700 has been much better. In 7 months, I had 7 700 bolts simply fall out of the action when I was putting them together and opening them for new owners at our big box store. Worse yet were 6 overpressure RUM calibers which with factory ammo shot too hot to even eject. Remington would never fess up to what was wrong, they just replaced the entire gun. I own a 788 in 222 but will never own a 700.

I own and like Weatherby's but was an expert witness against them when they used a horribly grained piece of wood in the wrist with the wrist pin hole drilled but sans pin. It also had a splitting mall designed into the triggerguard/floorplate. The gun came apart at the wrist and gave the owner brain damage. Now I open them all up if I buy one and check to see if the pin is installed.

I was hoping the Japs would be the ones making the Model 70. I would have bought one, but not now.
