Not all Rem 700 are the same

[Sam11]

Everyone: I just called Remington back to find out more info and I asked for and had the same fellow call me right back. After consulting with someone else he retracted his statement from the other day and apologized. He confirms that I have an improperly drilled and tapped receiver. I hope it is just off length wise and not off center.

He states that all of their long action receivers have the same exact scope hole pattern. And same thing for all of their short actions having their own same pattern.

I also apologize for causing any concern. Sam.

I think Rem has 3 actions a short a long and a long magnum. I have a 6mm-284 built on a long action from a 30/06 and I have a 375 H&H in a Rem 700 classic they are both the same length. But if you look at my 7mm STW Sendero or my 300 Ultra they are about 1/8inch longer in the magazine box then the 6mm-284 and the 375 H&H. Unless they just cut more of the box out for the real long magnums?

I've outlined all the different action combinations.

Now as far as stocks go. There is only short and long action.

Missed a couple words in your post, like mag box! You clarified since the email I read I guess.

Did you like that Brent? Just when you thought you had it I changed it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif It sounded better in my head but when I read it after I posted it I figured I better clear what I said up or I was going to have some Remington owners falling off their chairs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
