Here’s the thing—this isn’t a complete rifle. You’re buying the central piece, the serialized receiver, which legally is the firearm. This means you’ll need to budget for a barrel, stock, bottom metal, and optics. The good news? The Model 700 platform has arguably the largest aftermarket support in existence. You can pair this receiver with a premium barrel from brands like Proof Research or a more budget-friendly option from Shaw, and it will drop into a huge variety of chassis systems from MDT or traditional stocks from Bell and Carlson. The long-action configuration is typically for longer cartridges like the .30-06 Springfield or .300 Win Mag. At just under $350, this receiver positions you to build a rifle exactly to your specs without the premium of a custom action, though the total project cost will be higher.
Who This Receiver Is For
This is for the budget-conscious tinkerer or the hunter wanting a semi-custom rifle without a full custom price tag. It’s ideal if you enjoy the process of selecting each component and assembling a rifle that fits you perfectly. It’s also a smart buy for someone who already has a spare stock or barrel and needs a quality action to complete the build. If you’re in Missouri looking for a project centerpiece, this receiver ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Offers exceptional value as the starting point for a custom build. The X-Mark Pro trigger is a significant improvement over older Remington designs and is adjustable. The blued finish is durable and classic. Massive aftermarket support means endless customization. Fits out of the box with most Model 700-pattern stocks and chassis.
Cons: Requires significant additional investment in parts and potentially gunsmithing for barrel installation. The total cost will exceed that of many factory rifles. As a stripped receiver, it’s not a shooting-ready firearm upon purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What else do I need to buy to have a functioning rifle?
A: You will need at minimum a barrel, a stock or chassis system, bottom metal (or a chassis with integrated bedding), a bolt assembly, and a magazine. Optics and mounting hardware are also required. Some parts may require professional gunsmithing for proper installation.
Q: Is the trigger adjustable, and is it any good?
A: Yes, the X-Mark Pro trigger is externally adjustable for pull weight, typically within a range of about 3 to 5 pounds. It’s widely considered a very good factory trigger—crisp and consistent—and for many builders, it eliminates the immediate need for an aftermarket trigger upgrade.
Q: What calibers can this long-action receiver be built for?
A: It’s designed for standard long-action cartridges based on the .30-06 Springfield family, such as .270 Win, .25-06 Rem, .280 Rem, and .35 Whelen, as well as magnum cartridges like .7mm Rem Mag and .300 Win Mag. The specific barrel and bolt face you choose will determine the final caliber.
Building a rifle from a receiver isn’t for everyone, but if you want control over every component and a potentially higher-value final product than an off-the-shelf model, this Remington 700 receiver is a solid place to start. The project allows you to spread costs over time. Available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, this receiver is a practical entry into the world of custom rifles.
