A bit more expensive than before the bankruptcy.
As others have pointed out, a little more and we can get a custom.
Remington's still in trouble unless their new production actions are as true and consistent as, say, a Pierce.

Thinking about building a 6 Dasher on a 700 SA I got.....

Custom action benefits aside, Its good to see products in stock again.

You can get a GRB for $850 and its far better IMO..Short or Long

There is a plethora of information regarding the quality of just pre-bankruptcy Remington actions. The basic design is simple and capable of fine precision but they have had some notable Q&A issues over the [recent] years. If one's budget will permit a quality custom action of the same footprint/form-factor, then I'd opt for that.

Unfortunately the days of a Remington action for $400 bucks are gone. They used to make a great starting point for a budget build. I don't see myself buying one at $600 when I can spend an extra $300 and be in a custom action built with better tolerances, spiral fluting and large knob.

Grice’s is one of the best gun shops that I’ve stepped foot inside and I’ve been in a lot of gun shops.

So less than $500.00 is the sale price. How much do they normally sell for? As in retail price.

Not on sale, that is what I would sell one for

They never were as true and consistent as a Pierce. At these prices, just bite the bullet and get a BAT, Borden or Kelbly action. I have the all and all are just great.

A 700 can be trued and the barrel threads single point cut and they will make a fine action but by the time you have done that you can get a custom action for not much more. If you go the Rem truing you still have a Rem action and prolly will never be able to come close to getting your money back. The Rem 700, imo, was an action for the masses. In the end, its your money to spend the way you see fit.

I agree, they are ok for hunting deer sized game. And I’ll admit, occasionally you will get a sho nuf “shooter”. Lol
By the time you spend the dollars to get the avg. Remington right may as well get a custom.

yes i have the remingtons because doing my own work on my rifles is my hobby and part of that is to be able to clean up those actions. i have the investment in equipment. If I buy a custom action/s those three you mention would be at the top of my list.

I have a long action in a drawer that I bought years ago. I just pulled a $300 Remington Cabela’s Sale gun apart. After they get used, I’m only buying customs.
