Blue Print Companies

[sherlok]

I'm looking for a factory replacement 700 bolt in .223. Are there some companies who throw these things away when blueprinting actions. I know some sell pull off virtually brand new barrels.

I realize that it will have to be fitted, but I can just imagine what Remington will charge me for a replacement. I trying to weigh my options.

Thanks,
Sherlok

There are some good options out there for replacements but they arn't free. PTG, i think is the name that makes tooling and some parts for the 700 has some fine bolts that if im not mistaken run around 150.

PTG is a very nice bolt. But if your going that route you should also note instead of fitting the bolt to your action, you will need to have your entire action trued. Which will give you greater accuracy. You will spend anywhere from 350-500 dollars in that process depending on what smith you use. that price should include the cost of the PTG bolt.

good luck

Yep. That's kinda what I figured. Sorta totals my SPS Tactical doesn't it.

Not at all. Makes it alot better than it was when it was new. Short of finding a used SA 700 and taking the bolt from it thats your best option. What happend to the original bolt in the first place.
