Good source for Remington actions?

[JeffJ]

Conteplating building a gun. Im looking for a LEFT HANDED Remy 700 action. Probably 270 or 7mm. Anyone know a good place to find them?

[Maddox]

Go to Sniperhide and look around. There are a ton of different companies that make Rem700 actions.

If you're going to use it for a build and especially if you're going to have the 'smith blueprint it, the cheapest way to get one is buy a used rifle. Sell the parts off to partially offset the cost. A used barrel, stock, and trigger will get you at least $100 if not more.

gunbroker is gonna be your best bet for a left handed action. Although i do remember seeing a few for sale lately on the hide.

Just wish I could google it and buy one. I pretty much have everything else figured out. Timney trigger, Hart barrel and B&C stock.

I would step up to Stiller's Viper Predator Action:

http://viperactions.com/

The Predator line of actions are designed for hunting type of use. It is a drop in replacement for the Remington 700 series actions. It is available in both single shot and repeater versions in right bolt right port and left bolt left port. Short actions have 223, 308 and magnum boltfaces, long actions have 308 or magnum boltfaces.

By the time you find a used lefty and get it trued, you will not be far behind this custom and most importantly, it will retain it's value.

if you shop around you can find one for $850-900

Call around to Academy's and see if you can find a left handed SPS, should be 349.99.
Probably about the best deal you can find unless you get a decent used one at a pawn shop.

If you find one for that price let me know. I am not even left handed and I will take one. Cheapest I have seen a 700 for at Academy is $379 for a ADL.

Or you can buy a new action thats already trued from north west action works.... $600... brownells has them here and there.... or shop classifides on other sites... you can find them quite often on 6mmbr.com or snipershide.

The 700 SPS is a $600-$700 rifle. He must be talking about an ADL
