Just saw a commercial where Remington claims that the 700 is "the world's strongest bolt action." I wonder what they base that on? I don't see how it could be nearly as strong as the Mark V. I seem to vagely remember something about Roy proving the Mark V was much stronger. He subjected the Mark v to multiple 220k cup shots without action failure. I can't see how the 700 is that strong. (I am not a 700 or a Big Green hater.I own a safe full of them.)
