New to long range stuff. Where’s the best place to pick up barreled actions? I feel like I’ve google the shit out of Remington 5-r and can never find what I’m looking for.
 
Buy the action here

Remington actions typically use a shouldered barrel which require fitting by a gunsmith. What a lot of guys do is by a "Remage" barrel that uses a barrel nut to lock down the barrel like a Savage action. To put them together all you need is a wrench to fit the barrel nut and a set of go/no go gauges. Below are just a few that offer prefits.

 
What is your budget? If a factory Remington isn’t t quite up to snuff for what your looking for I would go straight to a mpa pmr rifle.
 
This thread is useless without OP giving a FULL build budget. Rem actions will vary from $400 - $2.5k here just so far..... do yourself and the rest of us a favor and put down a price range. No wonder your google searches turn up jack shit.
