David4516: I'd go with the Winchester 70. They offer either design of action....push feed or controlled feed. Their quality has generally been better in recent times than Remingtons, according to what I have read on the subject elsewhere. I like the safety with its mid position allowing quick bolt disassembly and also working the bolt in a safe mode.
As for using push feed designs for tactical rifles, that particular feature allows just opening the bolt and dropping a round in the chamber whereas the controlled feed usually requires the cartridge to be seated on the follower. Perhaps a little quicker and more convenient is all. I have both and like the controlled feed but have nothing against the push feed design. There are more options available for Rem. 700s, but the Winnie is not far behind as to availability of goodies. The other guys are right. Get what feels right to you.......you're going to shoot it!
