@Unicorn_Prince - when you’re considering blueprinting a 700, really be sure you understand for what you are paying. Lots of places will chase threads (require oversized threaded barrels forever on) and true receiver, lug, and bolt faces for around $200. That doesn’t improve extraction reliability, doesn’t reduce bolt slop in the bolt way, doesn’t ensure proper FP fit in the pin bore, doesn’t improve the bolt stop... by the time you talk about buying a Rem 700 action and having it truly blueprinted to the equivalent of a proper custom action, you can - and usually have - spent more than the custom action would have cost, and you’re still just left with a Remington if you ever choose to sell the rifle. An example of this - Northland sells “trued” Rem 700 actions for ~$500, which have had only the receiver face trued and the lugs lapped - which is a ~$100 upcharge over the non-blueprinted 700 factory actions they sell. Seems like a great deal for a “blueprinted action,” but you’re certainly not getting a product which is actually equivalent, even close to, a custom action which might cost $800 instead. Call around and ask smiths what they charge for bushing firing pins, sleeving bolts (or truing raceways and custom cutting bolts), milling m-16/sako extractors, chasing threads, truing lugs, truing and lapping bolt face, milling Lawton style bolt stops, upsizing rail screw holes, pinning an upsized recoil lug, etc - all of the things which would have to be done to bring it to functional and dimensional tolerance parity with custom actions... it’s easy to get over a thousand dollars into a Rem 700, and still only have an action worth $300 when it’s all said and done.
If you don’t like the looks of an integral picatinny rail, there are several custom actions which surpass blueprinted Remingtons for quality and features, even some at lower costs, which do not have integral rails. The Defiance Tenacity is a bolt on rail with integral lug, the Defiance Ruckus Ultralight (pictured below) has only two short rail sections. Stiller Predators, Bighorn actions, Shilen DGR’s, and many others are offered with either bolt on rails or integral 2 piece rails.
