Gunsmithing Thinking about buying a bedded chassis.

[akmike47]

Would a factory Remington 700 action fit in a chassis bedded for a Defiance Deviant, just want to double check.

It most likely would but should really be rebedded to account for any variations from being polished after machining or variations in machining and recoil lug mating up slightly different.

Any reason it should scare me away from it?

Not in my opinion. There's plenty of good videos on the tube on how to bed actions into stocks. The principles are all the same regardless of what kind of stock it is.

The existing bedding, since it's for an action of similar footprint, doesn't even need to be completely removed.

308pirate is spot on, if it's a good deal and you like the chassis get it and redo the bedding to get the most out of it and avoid any frustration due to inconsistencies.
It is fairly easy to do and fairly cheap if you do it yourself.

I appreciate it, thought so but wanted confirmation.
