Will a Stiller 2500X action fit into a Remmington 700 SA stock. I have a BDL stock from a Sendero (VSFSS) I know the Sendero's were for the larger calibers. I would have to get new bottom metal since I am currently using it on another rifle. Just wanted to save some $$ if I could. Any barrel recommendations - this will be a single shot bench rest for 50 - 100 yards.
Stiller 2500X Action

Shilen.
before you do anything check out the service and quality Douglas provides for the total cost of install

Douglas' website suggests they don't chamber and fit .22LR.
The action diameters of the Stiller and 700 are more or less the same. The distance between the front action screw and tang screw on the Stiller is roughly 1 1/4" shorter than a 700. The Stiller uses a trigger hanger and won't fit the stock slot on a 700. Other'n that, you're good to go.
If I could pick the best barrels, I'd do better than I do.

Weren't the 2500XR's supposed to drop in's for 700 stuff?
There's one in the classifieds today at a great price if the OP's still interested.

Rotex stocks are awesome.
Douglas does in fact offer .22LR barrels, they however do not fit or chamber them.

The website didn't advertise that when I wrote my post more than two years ago.

I have two newLu built unlimited guns both on 2500X actions, one with a Muller 4mi and the other a shilen ratchet. They both shoot amazing. I don’t think you can go wrong with either barrel.
As for stocks, they both have Rotex stocks from Randy Owens at Precidion Woodcrafting and I’ve been very pleased with them both.

I have a Shilen Rachet and a new muller4mi. I honestly can’t say which one shoots the best. I would just get what’s available. But honestly and I could be 100% wrong. But seems like my Shilen Rachet might do a little better in the wind. But could be I was more used to it.
