I'm thinking of getting my rem 700 rifle action with melonite to make it smoother if it can since the bolt isn't that smooth I'd like to make it smoother. but if its too expensive its not worth it.
how much for melonite finish on a rifle action?

- Start date
What about the action is not smooth? Is it factory? Remingtons have generous bolt /race way clearance and should run easy. Maybe not cat shit on a linoleum floor slick tho
Most places charge a base fee to do it, and you can lump XX # of parts in. Similar to a batch price.
I believe that MMI tu-tech in Arkansas asks that you use one of their approved vendors who send in parts in Lots.

I'm not a Remington guy, and I did a Savage and an FN...so my experience may not apply. But...
My Savage had ~6000 rounds through, and probably another 6k dry fire cycles. It felt fine.
It came back from melonite *much* smoother than it had been before.
The FN felt about the same as before, though I only had ~100 rounds through it prior.
I didn't do it for smoothness reasons. I like the look and corrosion resistance.
My opinion is to hold off until the action in nicely worn in. Also consider ion bond.
