Remington 700 Short Action Rifle

The Remington 700 Short Action Rifle represents the gold standard in bolt-action precision firearms for tactical, hunting, and competitive applications. Built on Remington's legendary M700 platform, this short action variant delivers the accuracy and reliability demanded by law enforcement, military personnel, and serious shooters who require a lightweight, fast-cycling rifle for intermediate-range engagements. The short action configuration reduces bolt throw, minimizes overall length, and accelerates target re-engagement without compromising the platform's inherent precision.

This rifle features a robust carbon steel construction with a .473" bolt face, engineered to handle high-pressure cartridges while maintaining tight tolerances essential for sub-MOA accuracy. The short action design accommodates standard short-action calibers, providing superior feeding reliability and a more compact receiver footprint compared to long-action alternatives. Weighing just 2.31 pounds, the action itself delivers an optimal balance between structural integrity and weight savings—critical for operators who carry rifles for extended periods. The proven bolt design ensures smooth cycling, consistent extraction, and the legendary Remington trigger geometry that shooters have trusted across three generations of combat and competition use.

The Remington 700 Short Action is ideal for precision rifle builds, tactical carbine platforms, and custom gunsmithing projects where a proven, accurized foundation is non-negotiable. Law enforcement precision shooters, military marksmen, and competitive long-range competitors consistently choose this action for chassis systems, precision stocks, and specialized optic configurations. Its compatibility with the extensive Remington 700 aftermarket ecosystem—stocks, triggers, bottom metal, and barrels—makes it the preferred platform for shooters who demand customization without sacrificing reliability. Whether you're assembling a precision rifle for duty, competition, or training, the short action's reduced complexity and proven track record make it an industry standard.
