Ive seen this discussion before but guessing there are some new options.

Anything new to get a DBM on my 700 vtr?

Still in original stock so Im open to ideas.

This will be my yote rig for yrs so I dont mind doing an upgrade.
 
Hey, I have a seekins precision on my hunting rifle which I really like.
I do have a brand new PTG M5 style bottom metal I was going to use for another build but never did... I no longer plan on using it and could part with it. Pm me if you're interested.
 
ATI has new offerings available through Legacy Sports (some ati products are available through IRUN Guns as well).

They have a pretty complete line of 5 and 10 round mag "kits" for Rem 700's.

They weren't priced yet at a recent buyers show but assume they will price the same as the Howa/Wby mag kits which go for about 130/140 bucks a kit (mag, trigger guard assembly), with spare/additional mags going for about 70 bucks each.
 
I was happy with the ati kit on my howa.

For a rem 700, there's the PTG one that let's you use ar15 magazines. There's a thread with one CGNer who had one installed, in the 2015 shot show forum.
 
out of curiosity... any of you guys with DBM install it yourself? Every DBM I come across online says inletting is required and it's not a drop-in installation. Just wondering how difficult it is

Generally speaking, minor inletting on a synthetic stock is not that hard..... Most can be done with a dremel and some sandpaper to clean it up..... If you buy a kit that requires inletting keep your receipt and open the kit gently.... If you feel the job is above and beyond your capacity simply return the kit....
 
My experience with the ATI kits and Weatherby/Howa rifles is a direct fit/no inletting or piddling around.
