Hommer,
No worries ... my 470Capstick used to cheese grate my knuckle. I just reckon the Rem700 is an accuracy platform ... build a 358STA, 338RUM, 340Wby etc and it'd just absolutely rock. The Rem Safari Classic in 375H&H was sub-8lb loaded and ready to go and was just a delight to carry and shoot.
Cheers...
Con
