Remington 700 stock fit?

[JohnD]

I want to switch Remington 700 barreled actions into a stock but when I put the one
barreled action in, the trigger housing rubs on the right side(bolt side) of the trigger cutout.
It looks like its off center by a good 1/8". Can I simply relieve the wood and call
that good or is there more to it than that? Is there any thing else I need to look for?

Thanks, John.

Just remove the amount needed and you'll be OK, unless that leaves a gap that the trigger guard don't cover that you don't want to deal with..

OEM inlet for an X-Mark trigger group differs from OEM Rem std/pre-2006 trigger group inlet.

(X-Mark "safety bellcrank" is external . .aka Jewell & requires more clearance)
(Pre 2006/std trigger group "safety" needs clearance fwd of aft action screw hole)

Question without starting a new thread....I have a short action remington 700 from the 70s, no prefix. normal period stock. If I put a varmint barrel on the action, do you guys think the stock will fit the action?

See if your action screw holes line up also. If theres generous clearance around the recoil lug the trigger can roll it in the stock
