I see that you can convert a Remington 700 to the Savage style of barrel and nut configuration. Is there any real advantage to this other than being able to switch barrels more easily? How popular and/or expensive is this conversion? I see Mcgowan has barrels and nuts for this and PTG has all kinds of 700 paraphernalia.

Which do you think is the better basic action, the Savage or Remington?
