Re: Remington 40 XS
All 40x series repeaters in 30 cal I have ever seen have the action clip slotted from the factory.

Re: Remington 40 XS
OK Let me ask a dumb question - What is the primary difference between a 40x and a Rem 700?
I've shot with people with 40x's and didn't know it, I know they are used in highpower but otherwise - is there a difference except for the clip slotting?
I would think if not then they would be in higher demand for an M40 build ?

40x's are hand built in the Remington Custom Shop.
They are a model 700 action <span style="font-style: italic">by design</span>, but they are manufactured to tighter tolerances on <span style="font-weight: bold">all components </span>then their standard production model 700 counterparts.
NO, they are not 700 actions that are pulled from standard production and trued, they are produced on their own machinery with their own tooling from the start in their own shop.
Traditionally, they have a 27.75" long heavy barrels with match reamed chambers, but they also have a 24" and 26" optional heavy barrels. Recently I have seen the newer ones offered in 20" and 18.5" with threaded ends (go figure...). There are 2 trigger options, both adjustable for travel and pull, one maxes out at 20 ounces and the other maxes out at 4 lbs.
They are normally manufactured in a single shot configuration, but they can be ordered as a repeater. I have seen repeaters in .223, .308 and 30-06 and they all were clip slotted from the factory.
They are the finest rifles Remington makes and as fine as any rifles in the world in my opinion. In closing, next time you see those people shooting 40x's and they dont know what makes them a 40x, please feel free to explain to them what they own and promptly bitch slap them for having more money than brains....
