Description
You’re staring at a box of parts, dreaming of a custom long-range rifle that fits your budget. The heart of that build isn’t the fancy barrel or the expensive stock—it’s the receiver. And for a project where every dollar counts, finding a solid foundation without the premium brand markup is the real challenge. That’s where a stripped receiver like this comes in. It’s the core you control, letting you allocate funds precisely where you want performance.
So, what is the Remington Model 700 Long Action Ultra Magnum Receiver Only Carbon Steel? It is a stripped, serialized firearm receiver designed for building a custom bolt-action rifle. This carbon steel component is the core of the Remington 700 platform, specifically machined for long-action cartridges in the Ultra Magnum family (like .300 RUM, 7mm RUM). It requires the installation of a barrel, trigger, stock, and bottom metal to become a functional firearm.
Let’s talk value. For $257.08, you’re getting the legally defined firearm from one of the most prolific bolt-action platforms in history. The beauty here is in the trade-off: you sacrifice the factory finish and complete assembly, but you gain control. This receiver is a blank canvas. Instead of paying for a factory barrel you might replace anyway, your budget goes toward the parts you choose. It’s the definition of bang-for-buck for a builder.
The key feature is its compatibility. This isn’t some proprietary oddity. The Remington 700 footprint is a standard. That means it’s mil-spec compatible with a vast ecosystem of aftermarket parts. Looking for a chassis? Companies like Magpul, MDT, and KRG make options that fit out of the box. Need a trigger? Timney, TriggerTech, and Jewel make drop-in units. This receiver is your ticket into that world without the cost of a complete factory rifle. The carbon steel construction provides a durable, rigid base for accurate barreled actions, a proven foundation for handloaders and precision shooters alike.

Pros & Cons
The upside is clear: cost-effective entry into custom building, unparalleled parts compatibility, and total control over your build spec. You’re not paying for components you’ll discard. The downside? It’s a project. You must source and assemble other parts, which requires research, tools, and potentially a gunsmith for barrel installation. There’s no warranty beyond the receiver itself, and the initial price is just the start of your total investment. That said, for the right shooter, the pros heavily outweigh the cons.
Who is this for? This is for the budget-conscious tinkerer, the precision shooter who wants a specific caliber like .300 RUM without a factory price tag, or the hunter building a dedicated tool for Missouri’s open terrain. It’s for anyone who understands that the real value in a rifle often comes from the sum of its carefully chosen parts, not a one-size-fits-all factory assembly. This receiver, available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, is the first and most logical step on that path.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What else do I need to buy to make this a working rifle?
A: You will need a barrel, barrel nut (if applicable), recoil lug, trigger assembly, stock or chassis system, bottom metal or magazine system, and optics. This receiver is the starting point for a complete build.
Q: Can I use standard .30-06 length barrels and magazines with this?
A: No. This is an “Ultra Magnum” long action, which is longer than a standard long action for cartridges like .30-06. It requires specific Ultra Magnum-length barrels, bolts, and magazines designed for the .300 RUM/7mm RUM family.
Q: Is the barrel already installed?
A: No. This is a “receiver only.” It is stripped and does not include a barrel, bolt, trigger, or any other components. The barrel must be purchased separately and installed by you or a qualified gunsmith.
If building a custom long-range rifle on a practical budget is your goal, this receiver provides the foundational piece to get started.
