The original small block Chevy engine has been gone as a production item since 2000. Bazzillions of parts, both stock & high performance still available at reasonable prices. Why? because they made a lot of them & the basic platform was a good one. Better than most of the competition in a price range or market position.
The Remington 700 is the small block Chevy of rifles. Expect, bank on the same scenario & the 700, clones, & parts to be around as long as bolt actions are.
Good gosh! I should thank my lucky stars I guess for, by some dumb luck on buying dozens of 700's that have shot well & offered great dependability.
