I am considering purchasing B14R barreled action and putting it into Remington 700 chassis. My question - as long as chassis vendor specifies it as Remington 700 - is there ANYTHING else I have to worry about? For example - I read Magpul referring to different types of magazines in their chassis. Would chassis have its own mag release and I'd need to worry about Bergara's compatibility or does Bergara come with its own mag well/release that gets installed in chassis.

And while on topic - if anyone has favorite chassis they put their B14R in - please share.

May thanks.
 
If you are buying a chassis the mag well/bottom metal are integrated into the design.
The Bergara action should have no issues with a rem700 inlet unlike some other actions that use a trigger hanger and require additional releaving just forward of the rear action bolt area.
