REM 700 VS. 40X

[Darryll]

I'm looking for someone to explain the differences of the screw spacing of a Rem 700 versus a Rem 40x receiver. I realize that the spacing is different between a short, and long action 700, but I don't know that of a 40X. I have a short 40X action and will be looking for a used benchrest stock for it. Is there a difference in spacing between a 40X long and short action too? Is there somewhere that I can find this info online?
Thanks

The screw spacing is the same on a SA 700 and the 40x.

There is NO LA 40x. Even the 300 Win Mag was made on the SA.

The center-to-center distance of the screws are the same on the 40X or VS short actions. It is true that the magnum 40-Xs use short actions. To remove a .300 Win Mag from the chamber will require removing the bolt.

When I worked at Remington the Enguneering Drawings for the 40X and the SA 700 were identical except for the lack of Magazine cuts on the single shots or the “Clip Slots” on the repeaters. I checked.

I went to the "main message board" and there it was.

There is no problem in responding to old messages. It all adds the the "great knowledge base" in the sky. As a computer tech, old threads can be extremely valuable - just like old youtube videos. Just recently I rebuilt an 1967 Coleman lantern. Old threads are treasures and I will add my 2 cts. too. I hope you understand.

The state of the art in shooting is constantly progressing, so be careful with resurrecting old threads. Eleven year old info will be correct in some cases, and wrong in others.
