I was researching 700 actions on the inet, and came across a comment that Remington is working on an improved action. I have never heard about it on the Hide, and am wondering if this is true or just rumor:

<span style="font-style: italic">It's has three locking lugs, so it's got the short throw bolt handle the military guys wanted, it's got the more positive AR-15 style extractor, the recoil lug is now milled right into the action</span>

What do you think? This is where I found it: www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f18/rem-700-vs-tikka-t3-help-needed-plz-5046/index2.html
