The most produced 700's are push feeds unlike Mausers which are controlled feed.

Winchester made a model 70 prior to 1964, that was also a controlled feed, if I remember correctly.

I'm a Mauser fan, but not so much of a Model 98K fan although I like them as collectors.

I like '03s, but don't enjoy shooting 30-06's more than a few times in a shooting session.

My favorite Mauser is a Model 96. Soft shooting 6.5x55 and probably the most accurate and flat shooting mass produced Mauser. My second choice would be a Brazillian '08 in 7mm.
