Current bottom metal and detachable mags

[Saber329]

Forgive my ignorance, as I'm new to a lot of the precision rifle scene, however I'm reading what I can and doing my homework.

One area I'm researching is the various bottom metal/magazines available for bolt guns. So far, I've focused on AICS, but what else is out there that warrants consideration before I spend my money? If you'd like, you can give me the pros/cons of your recommendation, if not, let me know what I should be considering and I'll to the leg-work.

Haven't made it that far yet...perhaps I put the cart before the horse.

For the cost of inletting on a stock and a bottom metal like the Hawkins, you could drop your rifle into a KRG bravo chassis. Just my 2 cents.
