New RR actions from Remington

[Nightraider]

This is #7 that's been like this....

Guess they don't make them like they used too.....

Thanks for posting that. For the money I don't know how you can beat them.

Am I seeing that right that the face is true to within a tenth or so? I don't have sound, so pardon any redundancy if you explained it in the video.

If it came out of the box like that, then color me surprised and pleased! How is the extraction timing? I've seen some 700s with plain terrible extraction - provided almost no camming.

I have a new RR action in 300WM on a LR platform, swapped bolts for an older model out of a Sendero, no camming problems and shoots far better than it's price would indicate.

Cheers.

What is meant by "RR"?

Timing still sucks, zero PE, but yes this is directly from the box. PE is easily fixed, which is a moot point versus the action quality.

That's the S/N prefix

So how does that compare with other brands you have checked ?

 

[Walt Krafft]

I have barreled almost 2 dozen RR Remingtons in the last 6 months. All three bolt faces, both stainless and blued. The headspace dimension has been so close that I have gone to turning and chambering them before I get the action, and am still holding headspace within 0 to plus .002. They are way better than they used to be.

Only one that's even close is Tikka

As NightRaider stated the PE is non existent. If you have a hot load during testing you will slap the bolt handle to get things moving..

Love Interapid indicators, used them all my working life. What is the point of the maxed out indicator on the shaft?

That's not maxed, that's a 50% load

I've got two, and they both shoot much better than I was expecting. Been a Remington hater for years, with Tikka/Sako being my preferred rifle.

Isn't the left indicator set sideways?

A Remington? Good news for sure. now they just need to move to a better state then NY.

They did, this is from Alabama

 

[Eric Leonard]

almost makes me want to build a Modified UBR rifle

And the Custom Shop already moved a few years ago now, to the Dakota Arms location.

That's why the actions are getting better. Now if they would learn where the bolt handle goes.
