Rem 700 Action

[NRF]

Can you buy a Remington 700 action direct from the company?
I tried contacting the custom shop with no avail. I realize there are alot of great action builders on the market but all in all alot are based off the 700.

Does Remington offer this?

Brownell's sells them from time to time. You may want to keep an eye out for a barreled action or a inexpensive Rem 700 hunting rifle, strip it for the action and sell off the stock and barrel.

If you are looking to build a custom rifle, you will be better off with a custom action if you can afford it. By the time you have a smith square up and true a Rem action, you are very close to the cost of a custom action which is ready to go.

I have a Stiller TAC 300 on my last build love it, but I want to build a few more guns for different purposes and didn't know if this would be a cheaper alternative.

Can someone tell me the differeces in the 700 actions? The ones you buy at Wally World are sloppy and the higher end 700 are smooth and crisp?

That would be the only thing that would stear me away from buying just an action from Remington unless I hear otherwise?

Shooters Corner also have actions at times.

They also have all sorts of shooting accessories...like BR rifles, varmint rilfes, combo rifles, custom actions, dies, bullet dies, scopes, used barrels/stocks...and the list goes on!

http://benchrest.com/shooterscorner/
then click the list...and open the PDF document..THEY can not keep up with everything so the list is updated periodically...you have to call to confirm...an item or ask if they have one you do not see listed...

good luck! <span style="font-weight: bold">I missed a McMillan GP stocked, accurized 243 ackley item V-20 on the list...It SOLD 2 hrs before I called...</span>
