“Built on a standard Model 700 action...” kind of sounds like a bolt-action rifle to me, unless the bolt is welded closed or something.

Several of the "inline" designs have bolt and striker assemblies that close over the primed breech face of the barrel - the Remington is unique in that they reamed a deeper primer pocket and made it work with a primed case instead of fumbling with loose primers. There's a solid partition between the "chamber" and the rear of the barrel, with only a flash hole drilled through so the primer flame can reach the powder charge.

Thanks for the information. I think I’ll stick with the old .30-06, though.
