Why Upgrade to a Precision Rifle Chassis System?

Many factory rifle stocks, while functional, often fall short when it comes to the demands of precision shooting. They might lack the rigidity for consistent barrel harmonics, offer limited adjustability for optimal shooter interface, or simply not stand up to the rigors of competitive or field use. A high-quality precision chassis like the Rival Arms R-700 solves these issues by providing a rigid, free-floating barrel channel, extensive modularity for accessories, and highly adjustable ergonomics.

Common questions a precision chassis answers:

• "How do I make my Remington 700 more accurate?" A rigid aluminum chassis eliminates flex and inconsistencies common in polymer or wood stocks, allowing the barreled action to sit perfectly centered and free-floated, leading to improved harmonics and tighter groups.
• "What's the best way to reduce felt recoil and improve follow-up shots?" A well-designed chassis, especially one made from aluminum, can add beneficial weight distribution and provide a stable platform for recoil management, enabling faster and more accurate follow-up shots.
• "I need more adjustability to fit my body and shooting style. What options are there?" Precision chassis systems offer extensive adjustments for length of pull (LOP), comb height (cheek weld), and often include interchangeable pistol grips, ensuring a perfect fit for any shooter.
• "How can I easily mount accessories like bipods, slings, and weights?" Modern chassis systems feature integrated mounting solutions like M-LOK and ARCA Swiss rails, providing unparalleled flexibility for attaching essential gear exactly where you need it.
• "Is a chassis system durable enough for demanding conditions?" Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished with durable coatings, precision chassis systems are built to withstand harsh environments and rigorous use, maintaining their integrity shot after shot.

Unpacking the Rival Arms RA90RM01C R-700 Precision Chassis System

The Rival Arms R-700 Precision Chassis System is a testament to meticulous engineering and understanding the needs of serious shooters. Designed specifically for Remington 700 Short Action footprint barreled actions, it offers a transformative upgrade from traditional stocks.

Key Design Elements and What They Mean for You:

• Robust 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: The core of the R-700 chassis is machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum. This aerospace-grade alloy is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity.
  • User Outcome: This robust material ensures minimal flex during firing, translating directly to unparalleled shot-to-shot consistency and improved accuracy. Your rifle will feel solid, stable, and predictable, even during rapid engagements or under high recoil.
• Satin Gray Anodized Finish: Beyond its sleek aesthetics, the satin gray anodizing provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that protects the aluminum from wear, tear, and environmental elements.
  • User Outcome: This finish not only looks professional and discreet but also ensures the longevity of your investment, maintaining its appearance and protective qualities even after extensive use in varying weather conditions.
• Optimized V-Block Bedding System: The chassis features a precisely machined V-block bedding system that cradles the Remington 700 short action. This design ensures maximum contact and consistent pressure points, promoting optimal barrel harmonics.
  • User Outcome: Superior bedding is crucial for accuracy. The R-700's V-block system guarantees a stress-free interface between your action and the chassis, eliminating potential accuracy-robbing inconsistencies often found with less precise bedding methods.
• Free-Floating Barrel Channel: The forend of the chassis is designed to ensure that the barrel remains completely free from contact with the chassis or any accessories.
  • User Outcome: A true free-floating barrel is fundamental to precision. It allows the barrel to vibrate consistently during firing, which is essential for achieving the tightest possible groups. Any contact can disrupt these harmonics and negatively impact accuracy.

Ergonomics and Adjustability: Tailored for Peak Performance

A precision rifle should feel like an extension of the shooter, and the Rival Arms R-700 excels in providing an adaptable platform that can be fine-tuned to your exact preferences and body mechanics.

• Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP): The buttstock assembly allows for precise adjustments to the length of pull. This is critical for achieving a comfortable and consistent shooting posture.
  • User Outcome: Whether you're wearing heavy winter gear, shooting prone, or from a bench, you can quickly adjust the LOP to maintain optimal eye relief, consistent cheek weld, and proper arm extension, leading to reduced fatigue and improved control.
• Adjustable Cheek Rest (Comb Height): The R-700 features an adjustable cheek rest, enabling shooters to achieve perfect eye alignment with their optic.
  • User Outcome: Proper cheek weld is paramount for consistent sight picture and repeatable head position, which directly impacts accuracy. This adjustability accommodates various optics, ring heights, and shooter anatomies, ensuring you're always in the sweet spot for your reticle.
• AR-Style Pistol Grip Compatibility: The chassis accepts standard AR-15 style pistol grips. This allows for a vast array of aftermarket grip options, enabling shooters to choose the grip that best fits their hand size and preferred grip angle.
  • User Outcome: Personalizing your grip can dramatically improve comfort and trigger control. The ability to swap grips means you can optimize your interface with the rifle for maximum control and reduced hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
