...do you mean a bare receiver? Receiver blank would be a solid chunk of chrome moly or stainless steel.
Sometimes distributors have offered actions only, but there's really no point. With the price of a base model 700 or Savage (or Stevens at ~300 bucks), just buy the rifle, sell the stock and barrel new unfired, and be sitting pretty with a ~$200-400 action. Just pick a cal people will be after, ie. not .308, or .22-250 etc. Get a 1/9" .223 for small bolt face, or a .260 or 7mm-08 for medium, etc, those barrels sell.

Remington doesn't sell receivers by themselves. Shooter's Choice, in Waterloo, Ontario is listing a VG to Exc 700 in .308 for $595.
Savage has an action they sell. Not exactly cheap though. The MSRP starts at $481US. Don't know who might carry them.

Ellwood Epps show acouple Savage actions in stock
Remington used to sell them, as did Ruger, you could buy them from Brownells back in the day. The only bare actions I know of now are Savage and the various BR/Precision guys. For most of us it's easier to just buy stripper rifles and go from there. - dan
