The Rem 700 action is known for it's accuracy. It is the best-shooting action of the three. I've never seen a benchrest rifle built from a Howa or Mauser action, not that people haven't done it, but the Rem is proven to shoot with many of the best custom actions.

Buy a good, used 700 ADL and have a custom rifle made from it.
