Rem 700 Action availability (action only)

[XC700116]

Try brownells.

And also check pawn shops for complete rifles. Throw away what you dont want.

Brownells has blued ones in stock, but no stainless, but I guess it's not the end of the world to just put Molyresin or Cerakote it, which I'd probably end up doing anyway. Never really thought of the pawn shop angle but that's a good Idea

Hoser is right. I have had good luck buying a complete rifle and selling the used take off barrel, stock and bottom metal.

I guess I never thought the stock barrel and furniture was worth much but I suppose if I bought it at the right price I could recoup the extra pretty easy.

Keep in mind you'll spend $250 or so to have a R700 action trued. Maybe a "tactical" bolt knob installed for $75-100 if so desired.

Yeah deffinately planning on the price to have it trued up and a good bolt/knob put in/on it. But realistically from what I've been reading on the hide, it's not unheard of to have to have the custom actions tweaked a bit as well. So I figure if I can get a 700 for the right price, it's still going to save me money in the long haul and I'm not giving up much if it's done right.


Overall thanks for the advice guys, There's a ton of decisions to be made yet, and I'll be crunching numbers all evening tonight hahaha.
