Actions with 40X/Remington 700 foot print.

As to rimfire actions I believe the most popular are all square tang.
I have a Lonestar 2500 RBLPLE that is R700 footprint but, to my knowledge, I don't think it's in production any longer.
 
The only RF action I know of would be the
Vudoo, RimX. I think there are a few more.

CF Actions there are too many to list.
The Borden Actions.

I guess it would depend on what your purpose for the action would be. I think the list is quite long. I would say just about every custom action that is not a specialized
Target action is a 700 footprint.
 
If anyone has a list of all rimfire and centerfire actions, custom and factory, that have the 40X /Remington 700 SA foot print.

Please share.

My Stiller 2500XR is a Remington 700 footprint. I had it in a 700 bdl varmint stock, then a 40X Rangemaster stock then a Don Stilth Remington stock. Toms
 
Rimfires:
Bergara B14r
Vudoo (various models)
Rimx
Stiller 2500x
40x Rimfire


Centefires:

Lots.

Just about every custom action manufacturer has a 700 foootprint action in their lineup to some extent.
 
Tom,
Do you know the distance between the front and rear action screws?

I used the factory stocks unaltered. The tang is different but ok. The bdl stock was not rebedded, or the 40x stock. The stilith stock had holes drilled and inletting done for action. A good friend inletted for magazine and bedded it. He belongs to the American Guna maker's Guild.
 
Tkh,

I ain't named Tom but I make chassis stocks for R700 SA

6.495 " or so" factory action screw distance

UNTRUED action face to center of front screw is close to .905
I have seen .01 or more shorter after truing

Remington had a +/- tolerance that precision actions don't require
I'd guess +/- .003 maybe .005

Cordially,
Mark
