Remington says the Model 700's action forms "three rings of steel," meaning it uses a push-feed action where the bolt pushes the round towards the chamber and the extractor does not grab the rim of the cartridge until the bolt is completely forward and locked. It doesn't affect the smoothness of the action, but does cater to one's preference. Some prefer the push-feed action over a control-round feed action (which does the opposite). Also, according to Remington, the Model 700's receiver was milled from a single piece of steel, so it'll be more resistant to wear overtime than those not milled from a single piece of steel. A durable receiver is necessary especially when absorbing the force of the initial explosion that sets off heavier loads.
Remington recommends the Sendero SF II for long-range varmint hunting.
