Re: 700 action screw length
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: corey4</div><div class="ubbcode-body">i need some 700 action screws. more specifically, for a 5R 308.
i really do not think the local hardware store will allow me to take the rifle to the hardware isle.
so, does anyone know the length and thread pitch? </div></div>
Make it easy on yourself and save the gas and trips to multiple hardware stores and order you action screws from Brownell's or Midway. Here are the Brownell's links to Hex Head stainless BDL screws you need. <span style="font-style: italic">Note:</span> If you blast them a bit they'll match the 5R action perfectly.

Stainless Steel Rear Guard Screw, Hex Head</span></span>

Stainless Steel Front Guard Screw, Hex Head</span></span>
If you wind-up bedding your 5R action into a different stock you might want this blued set, which is .250" longer to allow for greater depth between the action and the floorplate flange. They're not stainless but they can be trimmed and finished to length easy:
