H-S Precision Remington 700 Detachable Magazine Conversion Kits?

[NYH1]

I'm thinking about switching two of my model 700's w/BDL style bottom setups to detachable magazine setups. One is a box stock 700 5R 223 Rem. and the other is a 700 SPS Varmint 308 Win. with the same Bell & Carlson M40 style stock as my 5R (couldn't get rid of that crappy factory SPS stock fast enough!). How is the H-S Precision conversion kits? I've never seen a rifle with that conversion kit. Will it work my M40 style stock's?


Thanks, NYH1.

Save yourself the time, hassle and headaches and just buy this:

The upside is if you decide to true/rebarrel down the road, you already have a great chassis to drop into that takes AICS mags. Messing around with inletting stocks, fitting DBM, and bedding is a huge waste of time and money.

I have a bedded HS Precision stock with a trued 700 and a Krieger barrel and DBM with AICS magazines and I concur with this statement.

My Bell & Carlson M40 stocks have the full length aluminum bedding block that extends from the grip to the front swivel stud. They're completely free floating the barrels.

I couldn't be happier with the performance of my two B&C M40 Stocks.

Just looking for a magazine system for them. Nothing super fancy....it just has to work reliable.

Thanks, NYH1.

I have a Steyr CL II SX. Aluminum bedding block, open sights, 0 or 20MOA rail, detachable magazine and of course Steyr hammer forged barrel. You can upgrade to the SM12 SX that has a set trigger as well. I looked at building a rifle with a detachable magazine system with custom stock and trigger out of one of my 700 actions and decided the Steyr was a better rifle that costs less. I just need to put an adjustable riser on the buttstock. Otherwise they are good to go out of the box. The Semi-Weight barrel is a slightly more sporterized medium contour barrel.

All I'm interested in are detachable magazine setups for my rifles. All set with everything else.

Thanks, NYH1.

I just put the Magpul setup on one of my rifles. It took some modification to the stock but it feeds so nice compared to the factory internal magazine. I have access to a mill and did the work on that but some have used files and a dremel.

The Magpul accepts AI style mags and there are 223 mags available for that system.
