rabbit fingers Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Does anyone know what, if any, modifications need to be made to a standard rem 700 inlet stock to fit an RPA quadlite action into it. Many thanks RF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 As far as I am aware very little as they have similar "footprint" I am firly certain that the Quadlite is dimensionaly the same as a Rem 700 (hole spacing etc) If the RPA has a mag system the stock will need inletting to acommodate it and if the RPA has their trigger, I think this is wider than the standard Rem unit - although you have to widen the inlet to accomodate a Jewel trigger anyway. Dave (Baldy) has one - I expect the definative answer will come from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 They are the same footprint but the RPA has a bigger/thicker recoil lug so the inlet would need modification. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dasherman Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Quadlight's are longer but the hole spacings the same. The original Remington recoil lug slot will need to be filled in and another cut further forward. Slot for the trigger mech will need opening out and another hole/pillar for the centre action screw added. If your using the RPA trigger guard a longer slot needs cutting underneath. Get the action into the stock at the correct height or you will have issues with the trigger and trigger guard fouling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Neil is spot on there. I had all this to do when i built my 6.5 x 47. I used rpa,s floorplate which is no longer available , the one that takes a 10 round trg mag.No reason why an aics mag floorplate [such as ours ] couldn,t be used instead. Not a difficult job at all.

lapua Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 just resurrecting this old post. does anyone know if an RPA quadlite (chambered in .243) will fit, function and feed in an XLR chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas_K Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Depends on the chassis model you´re looking at. The ones with tubular forends could be tricky or right impossible. I have my 2 RPAs in AICS, which is perfectly fine. When I was checking the dimensions on the 1st gen AX chassis it did not seem possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Everything is as a rem 700 ie hole spacings and mag position, but the recoil lug on a Quadlite is further forward, and there is no " meat" further forward in an XLR to machine [ as i remember ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
