Hole patterned actions? Where the scope mount is not i regretted into the chassis right? Not interested in prs in the slightest
Looking for a bolt action.

The integrated top rail will only fit the top of a 700. Otherwise you can put use the integrated top rail as is and can use any action with a flush rail (like impact) if you don’t intend to use integrated top rail
No. This piece circled will only work on an actual rem 700 action not any of the clones. I would be more concerned about the action than chassis
If you’re not worried about using that piece an impact action should work or any action where the pic rail doesn’t extend beyond the body

Smash the easy button
Call up Altus and get an Origin Barreled action with a Proof Prefit.
Add a TriggerTech
Add a few MDT mags
Add a KRG Bravo
Add Optic of your choice.
Shop smart and watch the Px and you could be well into this for under $3K

This is something he will need to find out on his own. MacMillan was the gold standard for a long time, but not anymore. There are lots of great stock/ chassis out there that blow the MacMillan away. They are still great stocks but are a little dated now.
My suggestion is going to a range that PRS shooters frequent that isn't too far a drive and asking to get behind their rifles with various stock/ chasis options. I let people get behind my rifles constantly (3 people that were curious about the Wooxs and I let them squeeze off a few shots each just yesterday). The community is more than willing to help and answer questions! This will help save money in the long run.
Look at Grayboe too. They now have a universal mini chassis.
And again, a KRG bravo is a great starting point until you know EXACTLY what you want.
I would FAR prefer an integrated scope mount rail (integrated as in machined in as part of the action body) to mounting a scope on a rail that's part of the chassis. Just me but the former seems much more solid and resistant to movement than the later.
Integrated scope rails are like winches on mall crawlers. They're ostensibly there for a reason, but the reason keeps never happening.
I have two Origins and have had 4 TL3's(2 now), never had a rail get loose. I've had two $4000 plus scopes break, a set of rings that would cause issues with scopes, and a certain chassis that just wouldn't let an action screw stay torqued, but have never had a scope rail loosen.
I wonder what the intersection is of people who say integral scope rails are necessary but are also fine with set screw secured gas blocks?

Ya I have a couple non-integrated scope rails and have not had an issue.. But the integrated looks so much cleaner, plus its an added cost to get a rail if the actions are similarly priced.
Actions with integrated rails cost more than actions without. The vast, vast majority of non-integral rail actions come with a rail. It's not an extra cost. And most specifically the action people are recommending here, the Origin, comes with a rail.
Then not an extra cost. Had to purchase one for the ones I have, but they are Begara Premiums so not in the same level as an Origin, but get the job done for hunting rifles.
The rails on the origins has two dowel pins that interface with the top of the action in addition to the mounting screws. Without even using the screws that fit of the dowel pins and rail to the top of the action is so tight that you don't even need this screws to hold the rail on top of the action. It actually takes a little bit of force to pop it off the top of the action just based on the dowel pins. That leaves the screws to concentrate on their job of holding the rail vs eating the recoil. 25 years ago scope rails was a more legitimate concern. Custom actions these days that have purpose-built and designed rails just for those actions is another beast.
I've had a scope rail come loose during a competition. Was on a Defiance Rebel action.
My main action is my Mausingfield, which also isn't integral. But it's keyed, and if a screw was to come loose its so tight I doubt it would move.
I wouldn't argue that an integral rail is necessary, but I also wouldn't want to solely rely on a couple of small fasteners to keep a rail in place without other design aspects present.
To be honest, I don't even consider aftermarket picatinny rails for old Rem 700 actions anymore. I assume since we're talking about custom actions, we're talking about actions that have rails designed for them with keyed interfaces by the action manufacturer. I mean hell, my CZ457 with an aftermarket Area419 rail has a keyed interface.
I guess we have to use the caveat in this discussion...".... For actions designed in the last 20 years".
So I've decided kn a origin action with a proof research competition contour prefit. Having issues with a chassis. Wanted to get the magpul pro but barrel is to thick. Any suggestions besides mpa or similar. Just not a fan of the way those stocks look.
I really like the ATX AICS chassis but you're looking at $1800 with a folding hinge. An MDT is probably a good call. I have one W3 folding chassis and, not counting any shrouds, I'm pretty sure it will take a straight contour.
You will be real happy with the Origin - Proof combo.

I don't think they make them in any other contours these days

Why? You said it was for target shooting and you want weight for target shooting
Because you want bobo Magpul Chassis more than a great shooting rifle?
Literally almost any decent chassis will fit the contour as it is one of it not the most popular. The Magpul is the outlier. What other chassis do you like that won't accommodate it?
Honestly none haha it was between that and a mcmillan a5 and mcmillan os super far behind on orders from what I understand
Was looking at altus building me a
I know mcmillan isn't a chassis before anyone says anything
Just wait until you find out that you have to send that McMillan A5 to a smith to bed and final inlet the weird trigger guard you bought. And he's backed up 6 months on work.
Said it before and I’ll say it again. MDT or manners w/ mini chassis……
This would beat the brakes off a McMillan.

2008s finest. I’ll bet it has a jewel or timney trigger….
I’d never buy that over a origin+ proof+ manners + Triggertech for less or same money

Love mine. The add ons can kind of nickle and dime you, but the starting price offsets that well.
I was looking at the enclosed arca forend. I have Harris with badger ordnance mlok mount would that work or does it have to be arca

I suppose I'm going with the krg bravo. This is a dedicated long range rifle not looking for prs so hopefully that will do me goodIt'll take m-lok also.
Why enclosed? You got some night vision? A McMillan A5 doesn't show up with an EFR. How did the pivot induce a shroud?
I was gonna get one for the magpul and saw that krg made one. And just something for the future planning on getting clip on at some point.
