I finally handled a current production Model 700 a few weeks ago. It was just the most basic model, a blued SPS. I held it along with several Savage models and a few Ruger M77 variants.
I thought the 700 felt held and shoulders above the other two. Smoother, tighter, crisper bolt and a very solid-feeling package. After all the smack talk they get online I was amazed.
