Is the 700 "not being made anymore" as the title of thread indicates?
Remington is out if business due to the sandy hook shooting . They got sued for 3 billion dollars .Is the 700 "not being made anymore" as the title of thread indicates?
I really didn't like the feel of the Savage action--- at first. But when I built on a Savage action and saw the genius of the barrel but and ease of barrel change I was hooked. Put a hand lapped match grade barrel on a Savage action and install a decent trigger( I favor Rifle Basics) with a stiff stock with a bit of epoxy bedding and you will have a rifle that will impress you and shoot as well as you can hold it, for under $1,000!!!Savage 111. Suits my budget and I doubt I'll ever be capable of more than that action is accuracy wise. Was my choice when they were making 700s, still is, and if they start making rem700s again it won't matter to me.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a great action. Of course they're out of stockOr you can buy a Mackbros action for $575 with a 20moa rail, m16 extractor, and keyed oversized recoil lug, and its stainless. That's all trued.
I'd build on one, lacking a lathe I'd screw a Criterion of Shilen on it with a barrel nut, install a Timney or Rifle Basics in a Manners stock and be really happy. Cost May be 1200?Link? I didn't see any Remington actions on their site. $525 sounds like a good price.
ETA: Was thinking it was a trued Remington, but it looks totally aftermarket. SA only, and $575. That's the cheapest I've ever seen a custom action for.

It's a Remington clone. They will be available again in late February. They only make short action 308 and magnum boltface actions, for now. Call them and get on the waiting list. I've got one and am building a 6 Creed right now. Action is butter smooth and very well made. I'm on top of the list for the mag short action and will be building a 300WSM.Thanks for the heads up. Looks like a great action. Of course they're out of stock
