700 bottom metal sources

[Dave in WI]

When building a rifle off Rem 700 action that didn't come from donor rifle, what is a good BDL style bottom metal kit to purchase. Don't need detachable magazine. Don't need top end grade. Just a kit that will fit aftermarket stock and include needed parts.

Check out the PTG ( Pacific Tool & Gauge ) website. They have a good variety of Rem. 700 bottom metal options and the price and quality are very reasonable in my humble opinion. For the rest of the items you will need to check out Brownells.

I've got them from GTR a few times. Easier than dealing with PTG for me.

FleaBay at times or a friend that's willing to give you one. Remember that you might need the follower and spring if you don't have the parts.

I’ve been happy with the PTG bottom metal. All of mine are aluminum for weight savings on hunting rifles.

Hawkins Precision bottom metal is what I use for BDL style.

Remington sells steel and aluminum bottom metal in 3 finishes. They had a black friday 30% off sale that i think lasted 4 days.

Andy Hawkins makes some of the best bottom metal out there. Kevin Wyatt also makes high quality bottom metal.
