Hoping the experts here can help me choose a kit to convert my Remington 700 AWR 7mm mag bottom metal to a detachable magazine system. I’ve looked at loads of them but I live in a small town, and I’m worried about buying something online and not liking it. Here’s what I’m after:

Matte black finish to match the cerakote on the rifle.

Flush mount. I do a lot of hiking and bush-whacking so nothing sticking out is important to me.

Preferrably not plastic, especially the bottom metal.

I’m fine doing a bit of fitting if required.

Let me know what you’re using and what you like and don’t like about it.

Thanks.
 
I have a kwik klip mag conversion for my 7mm08. Mag holds 4 rounds but it was a tight fit, sat in the magwell better with only 3 in the mag. Fed fine either way though.

It's all metal. Basically flush mount, the middle of the mag isn't flush but the edges are and it's a smooth transition. IIRC it actually weighs less than the factory hinged floorplate setup too.

I prefer a hinged floorplate so I can't accidentally forget my magazine. Otherwise I'd probably still be using it.

Suther is giving you good advice. I've installed several kwik Klip conversions onto Remington 700 rifles.

They aren't just a drop in kit though, but you did mention you were willing to do some "fitting."

They don't require a lot of fitting, but if your stock is any sort of plastic composite, it becomes more difficult, as the material is difficult to work with.

It's not bad if you have a milling machine, or a Quad vice, but if you're doing it with hand tools???????

If they're fitted properly, they feed well from the mag to the chamber and are locked solidly in place.

Spare magazines are available, and if possible, should be ordered with the kit.

I like that they are almost flush with the bottom of the rifle, very smooth, and don't catch on anything.
 
One thing to keep in mind is that the kwik klip has a shorter magazine length than the factory hinged floorplate system which limits your ability to seat bullets out if needed. For this reason I went to an MDT system with longer magazines but unfortunately they protrude quite a bit so don't meet your requirements.
