Overview

Hand fitted barrel on a guaranteed short action, Cerakote finished

This barreled action pairs an Impact Precision NBK with a Bartlein stainless barrel, spun up by Viking Armament. It is hand fitted to plus or minus one ten thousandth and carries a sub 0.5 MOA guarantee. It ships Cerakote finished with a muzzle brake, threaded for suppressors. Made to order in most popular calibers and barrel contours, 14 weeks standard lead time.

Sub 0.5 MOA accuracy guarantee

Each barreled action holds Viking Armament's sub half MOA guarantee, and it is not shipped if it does not meet it. Our record notes the guarantee applies to a properly and professionally assembled complete rifle; stock, bedding, bottom metal and ammunition can all affect accuracy.

Impact Precision NBK with integral 20 MOA rail

The receiver is 4130 steel with an integral scope rail and recoil lug, machined to guarantee interchangeable headspace. The one-piece bolt has a .700 inch diameter, machined in a single operation. Bolt options are 90 or 75 degree throw with interchangeable knobs.

Bartlein 5R single-point cut stainless barrel

Bartlein's 5R rifling has five lands so no land sits directly opposite another, which Bartlein says is easier on the bullet jacket. The barrel is Bartlein match grade stainless, single-point cut.

Six barrel contours and most popular calibers

Number 3 Sporter, number 7 MTU, Medium Palma, Heavy Palma, M24/M40 and number 13 Varmint/Sendero, per our options. Calibers run .223 Rem through .300 Win Mag, 6.5 Creedmoor, PRC variants, SAUM and more.

Muzzle brake and suppressor threads included

Each barrel ships with a Meraki Machine M1 3 port muzzle brake. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 TPI (1/2-28 for .223, 3/4-24 to order) for aftermarket brakes and suppressors.

Cerakote ceramic finish or stainless

Finished in Cerakote; bead blasted stainless and custom Cerakote colours are offered, per our options.

Fitment

Will it work with your build?

Works with

  • Remington 700 short action rifle inlets
  • Wyatt's Outdoor (AW) magazines and AICS pattern magazines
  • M5 inlet stocks and chassis
  • Rem 700 compatible scope bases and rings
  • Suppressors and aftermarket muzzle brakes in 5/8-24 or 1/2-28

Will not work with

  • Long action stocks or chassis
  • BDL hinged floorplate hardware (AW cut only)

FFL required. This is a firearm receiver and ships only to a holder of a valid Federal Firearms License. You pick your FFL, forward their license to Red Hawk Rifles, and complete the transfer at their counter. Dealer transfer fees are between you and your dealer. It is your responsibility to comply with local, state and federal law.

Detail

Fitting it and the fine print

Which bolt face and barrel contour do I need?

The bolt face you choose matches the caliber you want to shoot. We offer .223 Rem, .308 Win, Magnum (for PRC and Magnum calibers), and ARC bolt faces.

Pick the barrel contour to suit the stock or chassis channel it will sit in; the six contours we offer are listed in the options.

Can this action work with my stock or chassis?

The Impact NBK uses a Remington 700 short action footprint, so it fits any short action Rem 700 inlet stock or chassis. M5 inlet chassis and stocks are fully compatible. If your stock or chassis is long action or has a different inlet, this action will not fit it.

What magazines feed in this action?

The Impact NBK is cut for AW (Wyatt's Outdoor) magazines and AICS pattern magazines. It is not compatible with BDL hinged floorplate hardware or long action magazines. If you are building a short action rifle, choose AW magazines or AICS pattern magazines to match the action cut.

What is included and what do I need to supply?

We ship the barreled action (fully assembled receiver and barrel) with a Meraki Machine M1 muzzle brake. You supply the stock or chassis, bottom metal, scope base, rings, scope, and ammunition. Our record notes the accuracy guarantee is reflected when the complete rifle is properly and professionally assembled.
