What action?

farktoofWhat action?
What action has a 7 3/8" (7 11/16"), measured with a tape measure, distance between the action screws?
I have a semi-inletted stock, need to know what action will fit in it.

Glen71Which is it, 7 3/8" or 7 11/16"? There is 5/16" difference between them.
98 Mausers arer 7.835" c/c (according to Mr. Kuhnhausen). Show us a picture.

Try this link and click on the various makeers at the top of the page. It has a lot of good info and should answer your question with a little research.

farktoof7 7/16

(I guess it's 3/8th's though which might be a rem 700 long action)
Thanks for the link.
I'll try to get a picture later.
If it is inletted for a flat bottom action it is not for a Remington. If it is inletted for a round receiver, that narrows it down to a few receivers.

JudgeSharpeNice peice of wood. It oks to my untrained eye like a commercal Mauser. If you have an action in mind fill the action screws with dowels and re-drill to what you need. Theprolem wll most lkely be the bottom metal. You might have to look a while to find some that is ot too small so you can re-inlet around it.

Is it safe to let for a 58 year old man run around in the woods unsupervised with a high powered rifle?

M1TankerI disagree that it is for a Mauser. There is no bolt stop/ejector cutout on the left side of the stock.
To me it looks like Rem 700. You can see an area in the right rear of the inletting that looks like it is for the factory safety cutout.

Thanks for the help.
I'm pretty happy with the wood, especially since it was only $45.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

tiggertateGreat deal and unusual to see a Rem 700 Mannlicher. Hope you use it as a fullstock and show us how it turns out. I really like the little Model 7 fullstocks.
"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.

farktoofWill definitely keep it as a full stock if I'm going to use it.
bottom metal releifs and recoil lug releif says rem700 to me. Ifin it don't fit your needs, let me know. I got some rem700's rat-holed away.
