Thread: Dan Hardy is making a Rem 700 clone Action!

How many of you had a look at the sample Rem 700 clone on Dan Hardies stand at the Sika Show?

You know the best point about it...they are going to do a left hand version at $100 less than the right hand version! (two guys that work there are left handed).

I suggested they should consider making the bolt lift 70 deg to give more clearance to the scope eyepeice. I cant understand why all of the R700 clones being made in the States are 90deg bolt lift. All the scopes are now comming out with 30 mm tubes and larger diameter eyepieces which is reducing the clearange to the bolt handle to the extent that on my R700 with a Zeiss conquest 6-20 (thats still a 1" tube) there is so little clearance the bolt doesnt clear the scope lense cap! Thats about 3mm

Cheers
