A new or used Remington 700 action will often set you back the same, or nearly the same, as buying a complete rifle from a big box sports retailer (academy, dicks, gander mountain, cabelas, etc). Check pawn shops and local gun shops for used rifles. They usually don’t have much invested in them so there may be room to dicker. Brownels sells bare actions, but they are really not deals. If you are not in a rush, holidays are a good time to look for budget rifles at sale prices- can be less than what brownels charges for bare actions... beyond that, the for sale section on the hide is a good place to look. The bolt action forum is a discussion forum, so you will have better luck in the exchange if you are looking to buy.
