Actually, I've always owned remington 700 BDLs and have been very happy with them. I passed on a beautiful Remington 700 Custom Shop Safari in 375 H&H due to multiple reports of extraction failures on safari from professional hunters. Ruger's didn't fare too well either or the newer Winchesters. A pre-64 Winchester was on my radar, but I decided to go the CZ route. The Kimber's way out of my price range. My CZ should be here soon. I'll send a report. If I'm not happy I'll return it.
