What's interesting is that Weatherby is also touting their three rings of steel and saying theirs is the strongest in the world. Weatherby has always been a company that has a pension for one upping the competition. When Nosler came out with their 26 (264) Weatherby came out with the 6.5-300. Maybe the new Remington organization is taking a chapter from the Weatherby play book. I hope so. I think it would be great. The 700 competition, as I see it, is the Weatherby Vanguard and the Howa 1500. Many are starting to see their potential with PTG now onboard and producing tooling for them. If Remington can market the new 700 correctly they just might take that market back. I love my Weatherby's but I have had a lifetime of appreciation for the 700 until recent years. I wish them all the best.
I don't know if you noticed or not but the Model 7 has changed significantly.
