You do realize that they change the barrel, stock, trigger, and highly polish the bolt and action. They use the 700 because they are cheap and reliable. Not for their accuracy and sure as hell not for their fit and finish.
A much better gun for around the same price would be a Tikka T3. I do not own one but I have read enough reviews to recommend them for a budget gun. I am personally happy with my X-bolt.

Wrong.
They picked them because the bolt is one of the simplest and most solid and thus more accurate. Cheap is not something the military cares about with specialty weapons.
Been shooting them for decades from store bought all the way up to many thousands of dollars worth of custom work turning them into competition bench rest rifles. If you think the 700 is anything but accurate, you don't know what you're talking about.
