Oberndorf Bottom Metal Long Action

The Hawkins Precision Oberndorf Bottom Metal Long Action is a precision-machined replacement floorplate assembly engineered for Remington 700 long-action rifles and compatible clones. Built from the ground up for serious hunters and long-range shooters who demand reliability without excess weight, this bottom metal keeps your magnum-caliber rifle as light as practical while securing your ammunition under the harshest field conditions.

The defining feature here is Hawkins' patented cantilever spring release mechanism—a design that prevents the floorplate from popping open under the punishing recoil impulse of large magnum cartridges. Whether you're shooting a .300 Win Mag through rocky terrain or running prone drills at distance, the engineering keeps everything locked down. That matters when you're deep in the backcountry or competing on a timer.

CNC machining throughout ensures consistent fit and finish. At 2.6 ounces, the long-action version contributes minimal heft to a lightweight rifle build—a real advantage when the elevation game is part of your hunt. Drop-in compatibility with Remington 700 platforms and common clones means straightforward installation without custom fitting.

If you're assembling a lightweight magnum rig or upgrading a stock 700 action, this bottom metal solves a real problem: keeping your floorplate seated reliably without adding unnecessary weight or complexity.
