Description
This Faxon FX7 barreled action takes the hardest part of a precision rifle build off your plate. It ships as a complete core: the 416-R stainless FX7 short action, the 4340 carbon steel bolt, and a 22-inch M24-profile barrel all assembled and headspaced in-house before it leaves Faxon. The receiver carries an integrated 20-MOA Picatinny rail and an integral recoil lug, so your optic setup and bedding are already sorted. The barrel is chambered in .308 Winchester with a 1:10 twist, 5R button rifling, honed and lapped, and finished with salt bath nitride and a recessed target crown. The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle leaves you ready for a brake or a can.
What the FX7 Barreled Action Brings to a Build
The M24 contour is the heavy profile borrowed from the military M24 sniper platform, which means extra barrel mass and thermal stability when you're stacking rounds on a bench or shooting long strings prone. The six-lug bolt (two rows of three) unlocks with a short 70-degree throw for fast, clean cycling, and it runs an M16-style extractor with a plunger ejector for reliable feeding and kickout. The whole receiver and bolt wear an ArmorLube DLC coating, which is where that slick bolt feel and low-glare look come from.
Dropping the FX7 Into Your Setup
Because it uses the Remington 700 short-action footprint, this thing plays nice with the biggest parts ecosystem in bolt guns. It accepts Rem 700-pattern triggers like TriggerTech, Timney, and Jewel, and it feeds from AICS and AW pattern magazines. It fits Rem 700 short-action stocks and chassis from makers like MDT, KRG, Magpul, and McMillan, though some stocks may want a touch of inletting for the FX7 trigger hanger. Down the road you can swap calibers with an FX7 Prefit barrel that threads right on, no gunsmith needed. It's covered by Faxon's Limited Lifetime Guarantee against material and workmanship defects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FX7 barreled action ready to shoot out of the box?
Not quite, but you're close. The action, bolt, and barrel come assembled and headspaced from the factory, so you'll need to add a Remington 700-pattern trigger and drop it into a stock or chassis of your choosing. Once those go on and you have a magazine, you're ready for the range.
What triggers and magazines work with the Faxon FX7?
The FX7 uses the Remington 700 short-action footprint, so it accepts Rem 700-pattern triggers from brands like TriggerTech, Timney, and Jewel. It feeds from AICS and AW pattern magazines, which are widely available and used across many precision platforms. That compatibility is one of the biggest reasons folks pick this action for a build.
Will the FX7 fit standard Remington 700 stocks and chassis?
Yes. It's built on the Rem 700 short-action footprint and fits stocks and chassis from makers like MDT, KRG, Magpul, and McMillan. Keep in mind some stocks may need minor inletting to clear the FX7 trigger hanger, and with the heavier M24 contour it's worth checking your barrel channel clearance before finalizing your build.
Can I change calibers on the FX7 later?
You can. The FX7 is designed for user-serviceable barrel swaps using FX7 Prefit barrels that thread directly onto the receiver and come factory headspaced, so no gunsmith is required. All the calibers in the lineup share the same .308 bolt face, making it easy to move between options like 6.5 Creedmoor down the road.
