In my opinion, the only major advantage of the remington is that it is much easier to machine in a lathe. For custom gunsmithing work, it is a major plus. Other than that, I think they perform equally well. Although I really like the new controlled round push feed m70. I built a custom rifle out of one of these actions and it has turned out to work really well. One problem with all the new winchester actions is the scope mount surfaces. I put together a rifle for somebody and I had to use shims on the rear mount just so that it would be elevated enough to be able to zero in. I have also heard of a few other gunsmiths having this problem. The action I used didnt have that problem so I imagine that it is a few out of a bunch. I know winchester makes a stealth I and stealth II that chamber a .308. I have a stealth I and with good handloads, I get about .5 moa groups. I would recommend this gun because here in the US, you can find it for about 600 to 700 bucks. Thats pretty cheap compared to many other .308 rifles.
