I am going to buy a Rem 700 in 300 Win Mag. I have narrowed it down to these two and am now trying to warrant the difference in price. The differences I kow of is the 40X trigger vs the X Mark. The barrel coating and fluting. The stock. Don't know if the bolt and receiver are the same or not. I have shot high power competition for years but not with a bolt gun so the smoothness of the bolt is critical. I intend to do work on the gun and probably change the stock. I don't mind paying extra for things I am keeping. I can float and bed a barrel and stock. Does anyone know if the main components, barrel, bolt, receiver are different in these two rifles. Any opinions or does anyone own one of these? Thanks
