Remington Model 7 action for new build

[trev33]

Would this action work for a new build?

Yes, It will work, but will require some modifications. The bolt face will need to modified to except your desired type of ignition. Unless you use the 223 modules I have and one of my breech plugs..

The model 7 is the same action as the XR100 except has a cut out in the bottom for magazine feeding. You will probably want to install a solid follower to make loading the modules, (primers) in the bolt face.

The trigger is the same as a 700 except for the bolt stop mechanism.

The action is shorter than a 700 short action so the stock will need to be ordered specifically for the model 7. Other than that it will make a fine shooting SML.....

Thanks Jeff Hankins.

With a .473 bolt face the conversion would be the same as a 700 cf conversion. A few years ago I built a sml using a 600 Mohawk action
