Are all remington 700 actions created equal?

[Slaysesh]

Are they all the up to the same specs? I really interested in the ss. Have to pick one for a 7mm stw. I can get an ALD for 489 new. Will this be up to par? Or should I look for something better quality if there is any? Hope I don't sound too dumb
Thanks for all the help!

Do you plan on getting it blueprinted for a build? If so just buy a stiller action or the like. It will be withing a hundred or two in the end and you will have a better product with better resale.

The newer manufactured 700s seem to be much better than the older ones. But, lazylabs is correct, a custom action isn't that much more when you think about it.

I bought a Remington sendero take off and doing a mock sendero build. So the only thing I could have done is square the bolt face and lap the lugs. Can all gunsmith make them tight and smooth as butter?

The actions are all the same quality. some have different finishes (The cheaper ones are normally Mat finish because it saves them money.

The stainless actions are normally around $100.00 more than the Chrome moly (Blued actions) but they are easier to care for.

I find nothing wrong that a good smith cant solve with the actions but the barrels are a different story. The ones that shoot well are the exception.
