Looking at a 28 Nosler on a Trued R700. Been reading about using an ultra mag R700 action instead of a regular R700 Mag due to the wider rails. My question is will the Ultra Mag Action still work fine with a Manners Mini Chassis or APA CIP Length Bottom Metal?
28 Nosler Action/Bottom Metal Question
- Thread starter raidergrad
- Start date
I have a 28 Nosler that is a Bighorn TL3 (which is rem 700 foot print) with Manners EH1 with CIP length mini chassis, using accurate 3.850" mags, and COAL of 3.720". I have zero issues with feeding. Shoots and feeds great.
If you are using a center feed magazine, like AICS, I don't think you would need wider rails of Ultramag action. If using like a BDL mag, you may need them, I am not sure. But there are plenty of factory rifles chambered in 28 using BDL mags with standard long actions.
The TL3 action is CRF, I don't know if the R700 being push feed would hinder feeding properly or not with that long of a bullet.
