I own eight Rem. 700s, and six Winchester Model 70s. The eight Remingtons are accurate rifles, most of which have been tweaked a bit (new barrels, new stocks, trued, etc.).
The last one I bought was a real dog in terms of quality control (fit, finish, function, trigger all sucked).

The last six big game rifles I bought were Model 70s. I don't believe I'll ever buy a 700 again.

I don't like Winchester's safety as well. As far as that goes, I don't like Remington's safety either. The triggers on either can be easily tuned to crisp, but I would not adjust either below 3 lbs. I currently own no Winchesters and own 2 Remingtons. Both of my Remingtons were made when they still put out good quality. Personally, I think both companies' QA has been eliminated. If I was going to buy either I would either buy a Winchester made before their factory moved or buy an 80's model Remington.
