hm77 vs 700 vs a-bolt
I have had several a-bolts and still own a few. In my opinion,the a-bolt is the best commerical mass produced rifle on market. here's just some features I can think of off top of my head. 60 degree bolt throw,very slick out of box bolt operation,available in boss,extremely accurate,comes factory glass bedded,adjustable trigger,tough durable finish on wood stocked modeld, concealed detachable magazine,magazine has X spring instead of W spring for optimum feeding reliability,sako style extractor,bolt handle shaped/angled/ contoured for fast,easy operation,3 locking lugs,tang safety where your thumb can naturally operate it instead of having to remove grip to operate right side safety,and the current 1000 yard benchrest action winner is of course based on a a-bolt action.
