Do any retailers sell Remington 700 barreled actions (as in, no stock, possibly even no barrel) to anyone's knowledge? Friend of mine asked me and I honestly had no idea.
I briefly looked at Brownells and Sinclair but nothing doing in that time. Thanks in advance. |

Brownells
In stock. Usually with an actual shop, these have to be ordered as they hardly stock them unless it's a specialty shop. Look up LRK Mechanical. Tell Matt AR15.com sent you. |

On the new in box market brownells is the only place I ever saw. On the secondary market they're around EE or snipers hide. I've seen other brand receivers pop up like FN SPR actions at CDNN.
Compare the price of a box store M700 to a new boxed action. They can be pretty close and you can use or sell unneeded parts to defray the cost. Sadly it's hard to sell some stuff. Take off Remington barrels are seldom wanted for prices worth messing with. |

The only barreled action I noticed is Howa brand at PTG.

PTG sells Rem 700 actions if he is only looking for an action.
http://pacifictoolandgauge.com/545-ptgcfs-precision-actions http://pacifictoolandgauge.com/547-remington-700-factory-actions- But if he wants a barreled action have him look at the Howa barreled actions. The Howa actions are very nice and the triggers are better than the Remingtons. Also the bolts are one piece. Have him buy a chassis and drop it in and he will be all set. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Howa+Barreled+Action |

CAn one still buy a savage action? I always figured one of those is perfect for a non lathe owner.
I bought four FN SPR actions once and they kind of spoiled me. The Howas are well made. My BIL has had a 7mm mag Howa for a long time. He's a meat deer hunter and doesn't care but it's easily a sub moa rifle. |

Northwest Action Works does nice trued up 700 barreled actions with your choice of caliber in a Krieger barrel. They are under $1300 I think.

Right, as long as you supply the action. They are priced right and have the components ready to go in a barreled action package.

When I had a bolt gun built a couple years ago it was cheaper to buy an actual 700 from Walmart than to buy the standalone action. You can catch them for under $400 from time to time.

You can buy one of the PTG trued actions I linked above and a Remage barrel and nut and come in around $1100 and still be able to change the barrels at home. Just need an action wrench, go/no go guages and a barrel vice but if you have a large vice already you can make a barrel vice.

yes they do sell rem 700 actions only. I was looking into them but for the price you can buy a used 700 or a adl and then sell the stock and barrel for the price that you pay for just the action. I went with a adl that Cabela's had on sale a few months ago with a $75 mail in rebate.

You can usually buy an entire rifle (ADL) for around the same price or less than just a receiver.
You might get lucky and find a rifle for sale for a great price. They tend to hold their value. |

Bought a stainless Remington tube PTG bolt spun up a green mountain barrel for a nice 308. The bolt fits tighter and smooth as silk with lapped lugs.

I am currently using the PTG bolt in my Rem 700-308 (still could not decide between 6mm BR and 6.5X47 L Remage built) and I have to bump the shoulder to 0.010 (normal is .001-.002) to properly chamber a round. A factory ammo will not fit. The short action Rem 700 receiver is standard, you only change the bolt/bolt face to change caliber. Except for a single shot receiver, all will accept a magazine. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2937/33189962030_7ac7620a8f_c.jpg View Quote |
