Remington 700 DBM options?

I have the Badger M5 on a McMillan A5 stock with AI mags and it's a great piece of kit. Very expensive though.

Own a couple HS Precision stocks that need DBM. In a way the Badger setup s kinda silly on something like a B&C or HS Precision because it's a fair bit more than the stock ! However, it works so bloody well why mess with it..... so, saving pennies to put same on other rigs.

I'd like to try the Magpul DBM on a B&C or HS Precision though to see how it works out. Can't warm up to the Magpul stock no matter how often I try, nor am I a fan of chassis's no matter how ninja cool they are.

I just cant dig the magpul stock either. the mag well looks pretty nice in a BC or HS stock though. The polymer freaks me out a bit, but I guess they're kinda good at it at Magpul so I will give it a try.

I thought about tactical teachers advice to get into a chassis but honestly, I really like the feel of my setup. And it wouldnt be the end of the world if my first inletting job went a little wonky on an HS stock.

I have a few hundred rounds through my Magpul setup (stock and dbm) and it is definitely a solid piece. The mag release is steel and very solid. You'll be quite happy with it. Inletting should be minimal as the Magpul hunter 700 accepts the factory floorplate and the Magpul dbm with the same inletting. You should only have to remove material from the mag well area of the stock, unlike most aluminum AICS dbm's which require widening and deepening of the front/rear tang areas of the dbm. The HS synthetic material is easy to work with, this should be a nice easy project for you.

Looking forward to it.
 
Ah, now that's good to know about the Magpul DBM. A little inletting on the inside should be easy enough, even for me !

Thanks for the tip.

Well, I picked up the magpul DBM, 2x aics .223 mags, and a $25 rotary tool from amazon. For anyone who wants to do this check out this video from youtube.

its fairly straightforward. I just widened the magwell area all around a bit. the front corners needed quite a bit of material removed. I had to remove quite a bit from the magpul part as well.

once i cut out all the right bits it dropped in and it functions well with snap caps. I'm heading to the range sunday so we will see how it goes. at this point I couldn't be happier with it. Not bad for just over $200 including the dremel tool.
 
I bought an expensive mag system for my 300 blackout m700 to get it to feed properly. I incorrectly assumed an inline detachable mag would feed where the staggered factory mag would not. After carving up my hogue stock which i was going to replace i got the bottom metal in and it had the same problem. I had a bdl stock i didnt want to wreck so i ordered a cheap system from legacy sports that was supposed to be drop in. I cant remember if i had to relieve the inside of the stock a bit but anybody can put this on without modifying the outline at the bottom of the inlet. It feeds great now
