AB Arms Now Offering Remington 700 AAC-SD Barreled Actions In .308

Not long ago, the Remington 700 AAC-SD SPS Tactical was sought after by shooters looking for a highly customizable bolt action with a barrel that was factory threaded. Just about every time a shooter bought one of these rifles the factory Houge stock ended up being replaced at some point with a high-speed chassis like the AB Arms Mod*X or the MDT LSS Chassis.

In an effort to save the consumer some unneeded waste, AB Arms has ordered up a batch of barrel Remington 700 AAC-SD actions in .308.

So what does buying the barreled action save you? It doesn’t for some reason. Weird.

I really hate calling out shenanigans publicly, but I was able to find a complete Model 700 AAC-SD for less money at 4 internet retailers with a simple internet search. So. Shenanigans. I am not really sure why that is the case, but I don’t know if there is any good reason to buy just the barreled action for a premium seeing as you could sell the stock to someone or even use it to make a toy rifle for your neighborhood kids if you so desired.

If you must buy one of the Remington 700 AAC-SD barreled actions from AB*Arms, visit their website HERE. AB*Arms is asking $574.99 for the barreled actions.

    I bought the new Colt 6920 in the "bare bones" configuration and it worked out great for my purposes, also got it for under $700. I ended up building a SOPMOD Block 2 clone. I feel in certain situations this could work, All depends on the buyer!

    I buy my Remy 700 actions at the gunshow for around $300 bucks or less as a "used" rifle in the action length I want. Toss the stock, barrel and trigger and replace them with Krieger bbl, Timney trigger and a custom stock, dang site cheaper than this and my money goes farther......
