RS14
Q: What is the guarantee on return to zero?
A: You can expect sub-moa groups on our rifles with most any off-the-shelf ammunition. As you are aware, some loads will produce better groups than others based on the load that is most ideal for your barrel. As for removing barrel and putting the SAME one back on, your shot groups should remain the same, as the scope never left the receiver. If you replace the barrel with a different one, then you will probably need to adjust your scope, but the difference between the points of impact between the two barrels will be consistent. Take note of your scope settings and you should be able to dial the same setting each time you switch barrels.
Q: What is the thread pitch on the rifles?
A: All barrels are standard profile with a muzzle thread pitch of M14x1
Q: Will a 3rd party butt pad fit on the rifle?
A: Yes, there are different sizes of recoil pads so you will need to check with your local gunsmith about fitting.
Q: Can the barrel be shortened?
A: Yes, we can put you in contact with a gunsmith who can arrange that service during initial purchase (excludes magnum calibers).
Q: How hard is it to push the safety feature?
A: Going from “safe” to “fire” it takes little to no force. Going from “fire” to “safe” is about a 1-1.5lbs resistance – much less than other straight pull rifles.
Q: What font options do you offer on custom guns (sideplates, pistol grip caps, etc.)?
A: Any Word font can be used. Hand engraving will cost more and lengthen the timeframe.
Q: Do we offer 40mm scope rings/scope mount?
A: No, we have a weight limit on the RS14 scope mounts. 34mm is the largest we recommend.
Q: Do you sell the Tahr THUMBHOLE model in grey laminate?
A: No, only in brown laminate
RS700
Q: Can I get another barrel for my RS700?
A: Yes, you can purchase aftermarket barrels for the RS 700. Aftermarket barrels must have the Strasser specified counterbore properly machined for correct fit with the bolt assembly. This specification can be found in your user manual or at www.strasser-usa.com. Instructional videos demonstrating the installation of aftermarket barrels can also be found at www.strasser-usa.com.
Q: What modifications need to be made for a barrel rework?
A: The counterbore for the bolt head is larger for the RS 700 than other Remage style barrels. The specification for this larger counterbore can be found in your user manual or at www.strasser-usa.com.
Q: Is the action fit to run with AICS magazines?
A: Yes, the RS 700 accommodates AICIS magazines intended for short action calibers, bit with and without plates.
Q: Can I buy just a barrel for RS700?
A: No, we do not currently offer stand alone barrels for the RS 700 directly from Strasser USA. Any aftermarket barrel manufacturer that can machine the correct counterbore and tenon threads (as dimensioned in the User Manual) can provide barrels suitable for use with the RS 700. We are working closely with barrel manufacturers, such as Patriot Valley Arms, to provide pre-fit solutions for the RS 700.
Q: Can I remove the action from the stock?
A: Yes. The Action can be removed from the stock by loosening the action screws located on the bottom of the gun, directly below the receiver. Please refer to the instructional videos on www.strasser-usa.com for more detailed instructions.
Q: What future calibers are going to be available?
A: At this time, we are soliciting feedback from our customers regarding future caliber offerings. Let us know your thoughts!
Q: If not in stock, can I order the Austria version?
A: We can place an order for you, but due to ATF and customs clearance, it’s not feasible to have just one rifle shipped. If it is a solo order, it will come in on our next shipment. For a stand-alone orders, at least 5 barreled actions must be ordered.
Q: Can I order just the action by itself?
A: Yes, see our website for more details. Actions Builder Kits start at $1,745.99
Q: Will the barreled action fit all REM 700 Short Action Stocks
A: Yes, however some minor fitting may be required, due to our use of a barrel nut, and due to variations between stock manufacturers. Please refer to the dimensional drawings located on our website before purchasing any aftermarket stock, and we recommend confirming fit directly with the stock manufacturer. Professional gunsmith installation is recommended.
Q: What Bottom Metal does the RS700 use?
A: Our bottom metal is a custom Strasser design, in the M5 pattern.
Q: Can I put a 7mm PRC or 300 PRC barrel on my RS700
A: No. Currently the RS 700 is only available in a short action variant, and can only accommodate calibers that fit within this footprint. A magnum bolt head is required for 6.5 PRC, but this caliber is designed to function in short action footprints. Please contact Strasser USA for further details on caliber compatibility.

A: Yes, with the proper custom counterbore machined to Strasser specifications.
Q: Do I need a special wrench tool to remove the barrel nut?
A: Yes, we offer a custom barrel nut wrench to assist with the removal of the proprietary nut on the RS700. If you order a stripped action, you can use any aftermarket Remage barrel nut on your build, or purchase one from directly from Strasser USA that does not require the use of a special wrench.
Q: Do I need an action block to hold the action in place or will a standard gunsmith vise secure it?
A. Yes, an action block is required in order to avoid damaging the action. Most Remington 700-pattern block will work.

A: The RS 700 features a 2-position safety. It does not lock the bolt, allowing for extraction of loaded or spent cartridges with the safety engaged.
