That is my point, the 783 isn't going to improve on the 700, it may possibly be an improvement on the 770 which is another value gun with a somewhat poor reputation, the 783 action looks to be modeled after the 770 more than the 700 though they do have a better system of fastening the barrel to the action as well as an adjustable trigger. Maybe it will replace the 770 and be an improvement. There has always been a lower priced 700 it was called the ADL, I don't know if it is still called that or they changed the name, but I believe they still have something similar and it would be a vast improvement over the 770 style action. There are many different 700s, yes but they all have one thing in common, the 700 action, that is what the 770 and 783 lack and why I don't believe they are near the quality. Those rifles are designed around taking max advantage of automation to produce a rifle as cheap as possible to fit into the price niche they are looking to compete in.
