Thank you for your input. The ag stock I got fit the action perfect. One would thinka 700 prefit would be interchangeable.
IS 700 FOOTPRINT THE SAME SKLTN S ANTI X

Defiance offers a 75 degree bolt now. You could order one for the action you already have.
That's why I want to see a picture of your scope setup. At the ~4:40 minute mark, Ryan cycles the bolt without any issues regarding clearance with his scope setup. My setup is similar to his.
Wow good to know. Thank you
Yes! This would be a more cost-effective solution than a new action.
I ordered two from them when they first came out in October and I think they were done in under 4 weeks and then it took another week or two for nitride. They will want your action serial number if you don't want to ship them your action.
The second time it caught my knuckle today in the cold i was ready to take a torch to it.
I will call the tomorrow. Why did you do it ?
Because I like the shorter bolt lift and the handle was closer to the scope than I liked.
They're interchangeable for sure but 700 foot print doesn't necessarily mean 700 drop in. Action screw spacing and bottom metal cutouts are but little things like the location of the bolt release, trigger hangers, ejection port cutout all can require minor modifications to make it fit properly. Unless you're the type that's dangerous with a screwdriver and a pair of pliers it's all easily done.
Edit: usually when you order a stock they will ask what action you have when ordering a 700 footprint stock.

Thanks. I was on the phone with them today and was told they won't work the funny part was while on the phone i got a return email from them saying they will work anyhow justin that i was speaking to on phone confirmed with a engineer that they will not swap. So I'm going to buy one and start another build
Did he explain why not? For instance, if your pre-fit barrel is a shouldered barrel specifically machined to meet the headspace for Anti-X specifications, it might not work for the SKLTN Ti because of difference in specifications, as noted by @waspocrew and the email from Pure Precision. As others noted, not all Remington foot print have the same specifications. A pre-fit barrel with a barrel nut is another story.

You might also be able to have a bend put into your AnTiX bolt handle to give you a little extra clearance.
