Introducing "The
Hybrid"
700 Remington bolt body married to a Large Rifle Vari Flame (LRVF) bolt nose.
I am a big fan of 700 Remington rifle actions. For over 45 years I have built countless rifles on this action. Everything, from my .17 Epp to my .257 Dynamo Magnum to a .458 American, that I have assembled on this platform has had great success. Plus the after market has a variety of low cost high quality scope bases, stocks and triggers to improve the factory models, should one wish to go that far. Naturally it was also the first action we selected to build our first smokeless muzzleloader almost 20 years ago.
My least favorite part of our 700 Remington ML builds has always been the 'cut case' ignition. Because of the need to use large rifle primers, we were forced to start with a .473" bolt face action and then we would shorten appropriate cartridge cases to act as the primer carriers. Trimming cases was not a problem for us because we used a special jig in our lathe. For our customers, however, it was not so simple. Additionally, the shortened cases are somewhat cumbersome to load into the breech plug. Loading is especially trying in the heat of the hunting moment.
The perfect solution would be to use our patented LRVF module. Endless supply for customer and no fumbling with loading. Win - win. Problem was, we could not figure a way to attach them onto the existing Remington bolt. We tried several ideas and none worked well enough for daily use. Finally one evening with a die grinder, cutoff wheel and a boring bar we saw the light and the beginning of the results we wanted. A couple of test bolts gave their lives in the name of science but we got it perfect. I have been shooting mine for the past nine month and I am just as thrilled today as the day we got it to work.
