model 700 detachable mag options

nitis · Jan 22, 2011

There really does not appear to be many affordable options for this. The 700 is probably the most cusumizable bolt gun out there yet options for this are so limited

I have seen HS precisions 300 bucks
Wyatss 250+
and cabelas kwik klip about 90 bucks but only for long action

What gives am I missing anything?

I think Badger makes one, but no idea as to cost.

When it comes to stuff like this you get what you pay for. You could get a cheap plastic kit and it might last a lifetime, or maybe it gets smashed the first season. In my case I never install any plastic crap on any of my guns. Though I do know what you mean. It probably cost $20 to make the part and they charge $220!

I have never been a fan of detachable magazines. If it were to get lost on the hunt, it would turn your rifle into a single shot.
I am thinking that the long action is the "standard".

Glen Seekins over in Lewiston, Idaho, builds one heck of a detachable mag system for the Remington 700. It's not inexpensive either, but is very good:

Or, if you don't need that big a magazine, just find a good used factory Rem 700 with the removable magazine - they've built about a zillion of 'em.
