Pretty neat. It's a good idea, and could save a lot of money given the cost of the magazines a lot of the DBM upgrades for Remingtons take. Would be even better if they made one for 700's in larger calibers! My .308 would look awful sharp with a 20rd magazine in it. :D

Damn! I thought my CZ 550 American Safari Magnum had a big magazine! 5 shots of 458 in the magazine and one in the spout. That's nothing compared to a 20 shooter Model 700! Seriously, a 20 round Model 700 is ridiculous.

Here's a conversion for 700 .308 box magazine. I will be doing this someday...

Fantastic idea for an NRA match rifle bolt gun in 6.5 Grendel.

Do a search on these over on snipershide.com. The AR mag conversions are definitely not 'drop-in' type deals. Make sure you know exactly what's involved. The high location of the mag release requires modifications to your stock (drilling/milling a hole in the side) and it appears you then need to mill out the feed rails to clear the mags. Not sure that part is reversable. :sad:

Also, because of the standard OAL of the AR type mags, you're probably limited to 69gr. bullets.

^ Even without that above, I would never pay that much for a mag conversion. $300? Where do you guys work? I want a job there.

I only load one at a time in my bolt gun anyways and I always let the barrel cool a few minutes in between shots. A mag converion would just be a bragging rights thing. Kinda like this guy I saw at the range with this super expensive M1A in this crazy looking stock with a high dollar scope that was only shooting the 50 yard targets. He sure did look cool though.
