I heard they cnc all their actions now so I got one for a cheap build to compare to a costly custom build I’m doing. My Remingtons have all been better than sub moa without anything other than trigger work or replacement of the exlax triggers on the newer ones. I wanna see if the custom actions are worth the extra money. I’ve got a krg bravo chassis and a criterion remage barrel that I’m gonna swap between the two actions to make it a good comparison. My defiance has a TriggerTech diamond and I’ve got a riflebasix 8-20oz trigger for this Remington action. I’ll set them both as close to the same as possible so that should be close enough. I’m anxious to see the outcome.

I got it online from budsgunshop.com. I lapped the lugs this morning and it took less than 5 minutes. One had about 90% contact and the other about 70%.
I totally agree and why did they buy the pos? My defiance are much nicer but they should be because that’s what I paid for. Are my groups better? Not as I can tell but that doesn’t make my r700 in the same league. It does mean that they’re a good alternative for someone on a budget.
My new Remington action is as pretty as a couple nice big breastisis, and as slick as a hookers vagina after fleet week. Being a sailor I’ve hit a couple of sandy vaginas in my day and they weren’t as bad as you might would think. Definitely better than no vagina at all. Remember “Any port in a storm” and you’ll go far grasshopper.
For Christ sakes man why did you buy it? It takes less than a minute to examine a bolt rifle. Did you think it would get better on the ride home? When people stopped buying the American cars back then they stopped making that junk.
Bought it online, though it would improve over time or that would find a decent load, or that I had scope issues, etc. Still I’ve seen plenty of 700s crappy out of the box, never seen a Tikka leave the factory like that.
In my 40+ years of experience in shooting and reloading I’ve never had a single failure to extract. Not even once. I’ve heard gunsmiths talk about it and seen videos explaining the problem etc. I’ve also heard others explain that it’s not a problem because it takes so little extraction with the relatively small caliber ammo used in the r700.
Yeah I've got one of those RR actions like that. Shot a few thousand rounds thru it before somebody told me it was supposed to be a big problem.
Model 700 Tactical Chassis in 300 Win Mag and continuous issues with extraction. Will not buy another Remington 700. I‘ve written it up in another forum here. If yours are good to go I’m happy for you, not intended as a facetious comment.
Had the bolt re-timed and the chamber Worked on by a gunsmith I trust. It got better but still had 3 or 4 out of 20 that I had to beat the bolt to get it to extract. Bolt lift never an issue. Rifle sold and buyer informed of problem. I replaced it with an AXMC in 300 Win Mag. What a difference in cost and performance.
I searched for your write up and it’s not here. However maybe you didn’t mention the type of rifle you were referring to.
You summed it up nicely. Like I said in my initial post, I’m biased because I really like Remington. I’d like to add that the Remington 700 is the most cloned action out there for a reason. The basic design of the r700 is awesome. I can’t think of any tikka or howa clones but I could be wrong.
I prefaced small caliber with relatively because I agree some aren’t that small. However technically speaking I believe anything under 50 caliber is considered small arms. I could be wrong things change. I agree the 300 h&h and several others aren’t really small.
Walk into any gun shop and pick up any tikka and run the bolt. That will answer your question. My tikka’s and Sako’s are smoother than my Defiance Tenacity.
How do you know what Remington's linear and geometric tolerances are supposed to be for each dimension and feature of the 700 action and bolt? How do you know what the nominal value of each dimension is?
