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!
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.
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 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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
