I am currently working on putting togrther a custom 257 Roberts. my gunsmith has suggested strongly on the 700 receiver and bolt action. my question, are these actions still available directly from Remington. Brownell says they are not, and i would need to buy either a new or used rifle to get a action.

Brownell's Has them at: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=32498/Product/REMINGTON-700-SHORT-LONG-ACTION-RECEIVERS These have the ISS Bolt & X-Mark Pro Trigger But, This would be a Good Start. They have a Limited Supply, So Contact them ASAP
Personally I'd Change out the Firing Pin Assembly for a Non ISS SpeedLock Assembly & Install a Jewel or Timney Trigger.
Hope this Helps

Are you looking for a Left Hand, or Right Hand action?

There are at least a couple dozen on gunbroker, both short and long action. The are new and consist of the carrier, bolt, and trigger. Hers a couple pics i snipped. New Remington stuff can be bought, but any older gun is a problem, I have a 783 a few years old, and you can go to every known Remington parts supplier and EVERYTHING is out of stock or back ordered, and I mean it all.
