Remington 700 tactical chassis options?

New option from Mega Arms 2015 SHOT Show

This one also looks like it would fit the purpose, 2.4 lbs without a stock, very " ARish"
NV mounting capability, however I'm not sure about how solid the QD NV mount would be, does look like a nice feature though.

Question: If I'm doing load development for a 700 that eventually I'm going to put into a chassis, but not now, will it still like the same load after as before just with a POI shift, or is it a totally different animal after?

It should still like the same load, the gains in my case anyway upgrading from the hogue stock should be greater consistency and better ergonomics to maximize the loads the rifle likes. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Another question: the 700 I'll be working with is a long action but in 30-06 rather than 300 win mag. It has a fixed mag now but if/when I put it in a chassis it will be able to use a detachable one. So far all I see are Win Mag magazines, none specifically for the 06. Would I use the same ones and just alter the feed lips and change the follower?

Try a google search but I think they can be modified with a magazine feed lip tool

You can run 30-06 in the 300 AI mags

[yellowfin]

Very good then! I would guess I'd fit a couple more rounds in it too. I wonder if they work with stripper clips.

[pyrotechnic]

30.06 will run in the .300 win mag AI mags. You will need to bend in the feed lips.

Since some of these chassis systems accept AR buffer tubes and stocks, what are thoughts on which buffer tube to use on a bolt action chassis?

[devilsdeeds]

That's really personal preference. Carbine, A5 either will work just depends if you want a longer lop. Something to keep in mind, some chassis won't work with stocks like the PRS or UBR and others that use the notch in the back of the receiver for anti-rotation. Some can be adapted others can't.
