Re: REMINGTON TACTICAL RIFLES
700 is the same as the 40X, however the 40X are made to a tighter tolerance than the production 700s.

Re: REMINGTON TACTICAL RIFLES
OWN both a 40X and 700. They are alike but different. Once a gunsmith gets ahold of them they can pretty much be the same action.

Re: REMINGTON TACTICAL RIFLES
This thread has bad juju:
First the OP pissed off the Spelling Police.
Then he enraged the ire of the Boltripper, of Profile Police fame.
And on a mere slip of a RebelYell tongue, brought forth the Master of Disaster, our esteemed Leader....Lowlight himself.
Only by the sacrifice of a live chicken on the sacred shooting mat, can the gods be appeased. If not, a pox will be upon your barrels and bullets, and hither will they wander without purpose.......

40x vs Remington 700
Same action and bolt the 40X rifles are built in the custom shop and they true the bolt face and front of the reciever.
they have a better 40x trigger in them as well
parts are 100% interchangable

Re: REMINGTON TACTICAL RIFLES
no, it wouldn't need to be re-trued. The 40x can be had in a single shot, while to my knowledge they have not made a 700 single shot. Also, IIRC they only make 40x in short action, yes even when they are chambered in .300 Win Mag!

Not sure how many of these Remington is turning out right now, since they raised the price over 43%. I checked with my dealer and he found 3 available, but his cost went from $940 to $1350 per rifle. I was going to get one (for the barrelled action) and use an AICS, but it's not that great of a deal now.
I can buy an action/ custom barrel/brake/trigger for the same $$, and don't have to get rid of the stock and bottom metal later.

They are now coming with Badger bottom metal and an AICS magazine, this is why the cost increase of roughly $400...
