CM7S Bolt Action – Remington 700 Short Action

The Core: CM7S Remington 700 Action – Full PVD Coated

The Remington 700 action is designed for hunting use, providing the ruggedness needed for the field, but it can also be used for competition, where speed and smoothness are paramount. It is a steel action with a Remington 700 action-style footprint, ensuring that your investment is compatible with the world’s most popular aftermarket support ecosystem.

The CM7S has several features that factory actions lack, making it the professional choice for those who demand more from their gear:

• Based on the classic Remington 700 action footprint with a 3-lug design, this foundation allows for a 60-degree throw, providing massive clearance for optics and enabling lightning-fast follow-up shots.

• M16 style extractor: Known for its legendary reliability, this extractor ensures positive ejection in the most demanding conditions.

• One-piece bolt – 0.718″ Bolt Body DIA: Our heavy-duty, spiral fluted bolt reduces “bolt-flick” and enhances the overall rigidity of the system.

• Wire EDM raceways: We use Electrical Discharge Machining for more uniform tolerances and smoother cycling than traditional milling can offer.

• Full PVD coating: For greater corrosion protection and smoother operation, the entire action is PVD-treated, resulting in a surface that feels like glass-on-glass.

Advanced Action Specifications:

• Pinned 20 MOA Picatinny Rail: Ready for long-range holds out of the box.

• Large ejection port and cut-out: Optimized for a light-weight action body, bringing the total action weight to just 25oz.

• .062” firing pin: Specifically designed to accommodate SRP (Small Rifle Primer) brass, perfect for high-pressure 375 Raptor loads.

• Integrated .300” recoil lug: Provides a rock-solid bedding surface for maximum accuracy.

• Tool-less fire control removal: Makes field maintenance effortless.

• Accepts any Remington 700 action style trigger: Total customization at your fingertips.

• 1-1/16”-16 thread pitch & Side bolt-stop release: Industry-standard specs with professional-grade convenience.

• 28.65 oz. – all in weight with mounted rail and integrated lug

Why the CM7S Platform is the Ultimate Foundation for Your Next Rifle Build

Don’t let a sloppy factory receiver compromise an expensive custom barrel. The CM7S platform represents the pinnacle of modern machining, designed specifically as a flawless drop-in upgrade compatible with the legendary footprint of the standard Remington 700 Action. By selecting this short action receiver, you eliminate the hidden costs of gunsmith truing while instantly unlocking the match-grade repeatability, structural integrity, and flawless cycling that competitive shooters and precision hunters demand.

Elite Machined Consistency for Sub-MOA Performance

Every precision rifle build lives or dies by the consistency of its receiver. While standard factory actions often suffer from minor dimensional variances—forcing you to spend hundreds of extra dollars lapping lugs, squaring faces, and correcting threads—the CM7S eliminates the headache.

This advanced engineering interpretation of the classic Remington 700 Action is precision-machined to custom tolerances right out of the box. The receiver face is perfectly square to the bore centerline, and the internal lug geometry guarantees maximum surface contact with the bolt. The result? Completely uniform lockup, reduced harmonic vibration, and absolute downrange predictability.

The Short Action Advantage: Speed, Rigidity, and Control

Choosing a short action (Remington 700 action) configuration delivers immediate mechanical advantages. The shorter, crisper bolt throw inherently speeds up your cycling time, allowing you to run the bolt effortlessly and get back on target without breaking your cheek weld.

Furthermore, a short action receiver is inherently stiffer than a long action alternative. Less metal means less structural twisting and flexing under intense chamber pressures. When your receiver doesn’t flex, your rifle shoots straighter. It’s that simple.

Limitless Customization: The Industry’s Best Aftermarket Ecosystem

When you build on the classic Remington 700 Action architecture, you gain access to the largest firearms aftermarket on the planet. Because this footprint serves as the gold standard of the custom rifle industry, you are never locked into proprietary parts.

Build It Your Way Without the Gunsmith Premium

Pairing the CM7S receiver with premium components ensures you extract every ounce of performance from your custom build:

• Barreled Actions: Ready to bypass the guesswork? Pairing this receiver with a high-performance 300 blackout barreled action or a hard-hitting 375 raptor barreled action builds an incredibly potent, specialized platform for both tactical applications and deep-woods hunting.

• Stocks and Chassis: From ultra-lightweight carbon fiber hunting stocks to modular aluminum competition chassis, this receiver drops directly into standard R700 inlets with zero-stress bedding.

• Match Triggers: Install any standard R700 aftermarket trigger group in minutes—no grinding, no filing, and no custom modifications required.

Engineer for Maximum Ballistic Efficiency

A premium short-action bolt system is vital if you are running modern, high-efficiency cartridges that rely on precise headspacing and consistent chamber pressures.

Whether you are building a tactical sub-MOA rifle or a specialized hunting platform, the rigidity of the CM7S Remington 700 action receiver ensures that every round feeds smoothly, chambers perfectly, and locks up identically. For handloaders, this absolute uniformity prevents irregular brass stretching, saving your expensive custom cases and extending your reload life cycle through multiple firings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What footprint does the CM7S use?

The CM7S is precision-machined to match the standard Remington 700 Action short action footprint perfectly. It fits seamlessly into any stock, chassis, or trigger designed for a standard short-action R700.

Does this receiver require additional gunsmith truing?

Absolutely not. Unlike mass-produced factory actions that require blueprinting and truing to fix manufacturing defects, the CM7S arrives completely squared and trued to custom-grade tolerances. It is 100% ready for barrel installation out of the box.

Which calibers will this receiver support?

This short action configuration handles any cartridge sharing a standard .308 Winchester bolt face family and overall cartridge length, including 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 Winchester, as well as high-performance custom options like .375 Raptor. Also available in .223 bolt face family, including .300 Blackout, and .350 Legend; and 6.5 Grendel bolt face family, including .338 ARC, 6MM ARC, and .22 ARC.

Why choose the CM7S over a factory receiver?

The CM7S gives you custom-action features—such as tighter tolerances, smoother bolt cycling, and superior material strength.
