Then you will need to buy one of the hundreds of Remington 700 action/receiver clones on the market or buy a SA Remington 700 action/receiver from Brownells. The Howa LA won’t work for your intentions. You’re better off setting it up on a SA in the first place for function, feed and workability. It’s all about the threads and Howa is not compatible with a Remington 700 based threading.
