PTG 700 action

[gamc]

Has anybody used Remington 700 action with the PTG bolt or bought one of the same recently ?
I know good custom action = better choice dollar wise but I am building a legacy rifle ( USMC )
Looking for feed back
Thx

Friend of mine bought one of their "custom shop" 700's - Came with an RAR serial action and what I assume is a PTG bolt. It looks a lot like the regular 700 bolt but there are minor differences that a nerd can identify, including a sako style extractor.

It's the best 700 action I've ever seen. Everything was straight, the action face was machined smooth, lugs were square, etc. Didn't require any cutting on my part.

If you need a 700 for a specific project, it is the one to get. If it doesn't have to be a 700, I'd look at something else.

Thanks that is what I was looking for

So, I know you're not getting anything out of this, just curious. In your opinion, worth the entry fee? ($$$)?

Concur with LVLAaron. Bought one from PT&G and no issues..

If you require a 700, yes. In my friends case, it was for an M40 clone.

i bought a blue SA from ptg a few years ago. It has been the most accurate cf rifle i have ever had(6br) . ive never had a custom. the bolt handle did fall off one day and sent it to dan for repair. i still have it and its still a 1/4 minute rifle at 100 with 2K rounds on it. its getting long in the tooth now and a replacement is about ready. its provided me with many good times on the range.

I have a PTG bolt in two rifles. They work great and solved the huge timing issue with the RR actions.

Several years ago, I bought a Rem. 700 action, left hand bolt. It came with a .308 bolt face. I was making a 20 VT and needed the smaller bolt face. I bought a complete bolt from PTG and after about a 2 month wait, it finally came in.

I had the action trued up with both bolts. I haven't had any issues with the PTG bolt. The bolt handle seems to be just a tad long than the Rem. factory bolt and I like that.

I don't like dealing with PTG at all, but when they're the only company that has the product you're looking for, what choice do you have.
