[QUOTE="Rubberduck270, post: 4347050, member: 9199"] Having had both, I decided I could live without the 700 and sold it. Still have the H&R conversion (my original smokeless gun). Biggest advantage a 700 build has over a conversion rifle is the quality of the barrel. Conversions can be a little "iffy" on barrel quality. That being said though, I've yet to build a H&R conversion gun that wouldn't shoot under an inch at 100 yrds. If 250 yrds is as far as you'll ever shoot, I'd build a 45-70 and put the savings towards a good scope and loading supplies. [/QUOTE]
