Best Remington 700 Magazine Conversion Options?

I’m currently considering upgrading my Remington 700 and I’ve been looking into magazine conversions. I’ve heard that switching out the magazine can enhance the overall performance and capacity of the rifle, which is crucial for my shooting activities.

Why Consider a Magazine Conversion?

  • Increased Capacity: One of the primary reasons for converting the magazine is to increase the round capacity. The standard magazines can be limiting, especially during hunting or shooting competitions.
  • Improved Reliability: Some aftermarket magazines are designed for better feeding and reliability, which is key for both hunting accuracy and target shooting.
  • Customization: A magazine conversion might also allow for customization options that fit personal needs, like ambidextrous use or easier magazine changes.

Factors to Consider

When looking into the best options for magazine conversion, consider the following factors:

  • Compatibility: Not all conversions are the same; ensure that the magazine works well with your specific model of Remington 700.
  • Material Quality: Look for magazines made from high-quality materials for durability and performance.
  • Ease of Installation: Choose options that are user-friendly or have good installation guides.

Recommendations?

Have any of you done a magazine conversion for your Remington 700? What brands or types would you recommend? Any tips on installation or pitfalls to avoid?

I’m fairly new to modifications like this, so any advice you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I’m looking into magazine conversion kits for my Remington 700 too! I’ve heard the DBM (Detachable Box Magazine) system is a solid choice. Anyone tried the one from Accurate Mag?

I’ve used the one from Accurate Mag, and it’s been great. Super easy to install and fits perfectly. Just be sure to check compatibility with your specific model.

I second the Accurate Mag kit! It works well, and I love the sleek design. Installation was straightforward, but I recommend watching some online tutorials for clarity.

For a more budget-friendly option, has anyone tried the Magpul Hunter 700 stock? It allows for magazine conversion and is pretty economical.

Yes! I have that stock and really like it. It’s a great option if you want a good feel and functionality without breaking the bank.

I’m curious about how the AICS (Accuracy International Chassis System) magazine kit fits with the Remington 700. Anyone have feedback on its performance?

I have the AICS kit, and it’s fantastic! Very reliable feeding and fits various models of the 700. Just ensure the barrel profile is compatible.

I recently installed the MDT (Modular Driven Technologies) magazine kit. It was a breeze to install, and the metal magazines are durable. Has anyone faced issues with feeding?

I’ve used the MDT kit as well, and I’ve had zero feeding issues. It’s been reliable for me! The fit is snug too.

Support for those interested in magazine conversions: practice makes perfect with installations! It’s all about trial and error, especially if you’re new to it.

What a rabbit hole! There are so many kits available. The more I read, the more confused I get. Anyone have favorites that are particularly user-friendly?

13

Check out the Magpul kit. It’s simple, straightforward, and has a solid reputation in the community. Definitely user-friendly!

Also, don’t forget to keep your expectations in check. Not every kit will fit all models perfectly. Research your specific model’s compatibility first!

I’ve researched various magazine conversion options for the Remington 700, and the AICS-style magazines really shine in reliability and accuracy. They seem to feed better with a wider range of ammo too.

16

I agree, AICS magazines are great, but I’ve had some feeding issues with specific bulk ammunition. Anyone else faced this?

17

I’ve found that going with the DBM (Detachable Box Magazine) from Remington itself minimizes feeding issues. It’s a bit pricier, but enhances overall reliability.

18

The DBM is solid! Still, it’s important to check if your specific ammo works well. Not all of them play nice.

19

I’ve transitioned to a PMAG system, and it’s been a game-changer! The ergonomics are nice, and the reliability is impressive, but you might want to stick to match-grade ammo for best accuracy.

What brand of match-grade ammo do you recommend? I want to maximize the performance after my conversion.
