Will the current production Remington "Magnum" action handle 300 PRC w/o modification ?

Is your talking mag length. This will work but accurate mag bottom cip metal is better in my opinion. If you want to keep it with bdl hinged floor plate look at the Wyatt's 300 prc kit. Your feed ramp may need to be noticed as well. I though you were just asking if you needed to change bolt diameters and such.So what about this ?

A Remington factory LA intestinal length is 3.70. This will handle factory ammo and hand loads loaded at and under 3.68 I believe.

So I read max OAL for the 300 PRC in 3.7".
I'm building a single shot so I wish Remington made a solid bottom long action like the two SAs I have on a 22-250 and 243 AI.

As in the ADL model with no floor plate or are you just wanting a single shot follower? My 300 prc loads are loaded past 3.7 so I have CIP bottom metal.

Gotcha. Stiller makes a single shot long action mag, just FYI

Twice as much as a 700 and backordered.

Correct they are more expensive because they are a custom action and already trued. If you did that on any Remington you'd have that much or more into it but he time a smith blueprinted it. I think they have their predator line in stock in la single shot. Good luck with your endeavor. I was just trying to help.

Well, what are you trying to accomplish?
The .300 PRC is designed around a specific application- heavy VLD's, for ELR shooting without eating into case capacity. If you take the .300 Win Mag (which was designed to work in a standard long action)- and use the magnum length action- you eliminate the "handicap"- you can seat em out as long as you like. I don't see an advantage for the PRC over the Win Mag in hunting applications, and you can go into any place, anywhere that sells ammo and find .300 Win Mag. Not so for the PRC.
It's unwise to buy a new factory action and then have it trued. You'll spend basically the same dollars as you would on a precision clone- and if you ever sell the rifle you'll get a lot more for it than you would for a factory action that has been re-worked. If you're looking at the PRC for ELR target, it's foolish to build off anything other than a precision action IMO.

TAC300 Stiller or a Defiance is the only route to take when building a custom rifle on a Ren700 platform. Unless you already have the action you'll spend more money buying and truing a Rem700 over the two stated custom actions.
