Anyone still using a 700 action?

I have two 700 PSS, one with an 18" carbon fiber barrel in 308 that i run suppressed. Another in 6 SLR
I still hunt with my 700 mountain rifle rebarreled to 260AI. I have a short action for .223 awaiting a stock

A funny thing happened when I reduced the small arms locker. 4 of my 5 700's started as MILSPECs, the other was a North American. All of them are Stainless heavy barrels and have aramid fiber stocks with aluminum blocks, and all 3 of the target crowned .308 are bedded. All the ADL's and blued versions got sold off. With the exception of the .223 MILSPEC none of my 700's are practical hunting rifles for a Country Gent of my age. Not to mention that other than the .223 MILSPEC used on P-Dogs in AZ, I don't believe any of the others are Blooded Hunters. It may seem a bit curious that my .223 Milspec had a military 5-25 Steiner mounted on it? But it was available while the swing .308 transits to the Smith. Old folk can use all the glass they can get, especially now that you have to identify what species of P-Dog is inside the glass in AZ. LOL.

Guess my small arms locker is pretty Old. I've consolidated my Rem 700's to just 4 .308 Win and 1 .223 Rem. Three of my .308 Win Rem 700's have 24 inch Match Crowned barrels. One for Fort Stewart, One for F-Class, and one in the shop for barrel change etc to swap out with the other two. That leaves a 22 inch barreled AAC Breakout version for general field use, and a .24 inch barreled .223 for P-Dogs in AZ. All of them carry 5R barrels. Anyone else still using the 700?

I sure do
