remington 700 short action replacement bolt

This time it’s Sako rifles, which have a unique system all their own. Notice we said “most”? That’s because of those pesky exceptions to the rules. We’ll leave most of the medium, magnum, and ultra magnum action discussions for the gun board experts. However, for the sake of keeping it simple and avoiding confusing exemptions, we are going to just stick with which calibers are long or short action. This is a standard guideline, but will not always apply to magnum cartridges. Short action rounds will have an overall length of less than 2.8” and the long action rounds will have a greater overall length that will not exceed 3.340”. Caliber will not be a reliable way to identify the action). (Note: There are exceptions to every rule and in this case one of them is the Remington 788. Rifle cartridges follow a measurement guideline as well, and can be a real time saver in some cases. I sure hope I wasn't the guy elsewhere on the web suggesting replacing the bolt with the PT&G.Don’t see your particular model? Perhaps the caliber of your rifle can help identify your action. You can just buy a Surgeon based custom from me for $3150. That's not too mych shy of the Surgeon RSR although if you buy the Surgeon you do have to buy decent bottom metal and a trigger. The PT&G bolt assembly (with a regular bolt handle) is $300 at midwayusa ( ), si if you pick up a donor 700 for $500 and put $325 into the bolt you are at $825. Really, once you start pouring that much money on the Remy it makes sense to start with a Surgeon RSR or Stiller Tac 30 anyhow. So, if you are in the process of building a Remington 700 based custom anyway the argument could be made to replace the bolt, but it's an expensive solution if all you want is a bigger bolt handle. The PT&G bolt is better quality and it's one piece, the bolt handle isn't brazed, silver soldered soldered or tig welded on. Even if you buy a pre-chambered barrel for a Remy it's either short chambered and you finish chamber it to the proper headspace or it's long chambered and you cut the shoulder to properly head space it.Īs far as whther to buy a whole new bolt in order to get the bolt handle.That would be up to the end user. A Remington 700 isn't like a Savage, there isn't really a drop in scenario with the bolt or barrel. You'd have to have the headspaced checked and properly adjusted.
