Hey whats up guys once again another thread created on my behalf. Do you guys think I should stick with the remington detachable magazine system that I currently have or get something else? I was curious if you guys can recommend a good reliable detachable magazine system for the 700. I am having failure to feeds and it is really starting to piss me off. I do not know if its the whole system or just a crap mag. What do you guys think?

Wow those are all really nice products but I wonder if there is something wrong with the magazine I have or the whole design is crap?

Seekins as well, if you like a push button mag release, Hooper, Wyatt are other alternatives that use proprietary mags.

Honestly it is unclear if the stock magazine system needs to be replaced. I may have to diagnose the problem further. I do know that I am not impressed with the follower in the mag.

Re: Detachable mags for Model 700's
In addition to what has been mentioned, HIDE vendor "Hooper" has one out now, and I believe R&D precision also has a version for AICS mags. I was told that APA also has one now? And then there is vbull, and Surgeon, and at least a couple more I can't think of.
There are literally tons of choices. There are systems that use unique mags: Seekins, HS Precision, Kwik-klip, Wyatts, etc. and then there are all the AICS variants.
Personally, I would choose the AICS versions since they use the most commonly available mags which are also available in several brand flavors, round counts, and caliber choices:
Accuracy International
Accurate Mag
C-Products
Morta
Alpha Mag
and probably a couple of other clones I can't think of off the top of my head.

Hooper uses AICS mags, not one of their own. I went with Hoopers DBM because I like the two different release latches he provides, and the price is right. I prefer using the AICS mag DBM's because they feed perfectly and are easy to get replacements for in 5 or 10 rounds.

Re: Detachable mags for Model 700's
I have three 700's Two have mags - one has an internal box.
The 700 in .308 has never given me a feeding problem. The one 700 in .338 just came home with me three hours ago - So I do not have any experience with the 700 in .338. I will say this.............. Looking at the .338 OME Mag I'm not real confident in it. I think I may relegate it to the shooting bag as it looks and feels a little tinny. Im shopping Badger Ordnance for one a little more beefy. If anyone has any experience replacing the stock trigger housing group I would welcome any advice on a good trigger to replace the one in it now.

Re: Detachable mags for Model 700's
While we are on the subject of detatchable magazines. Does anyone know of anybody that manufactures one for Savage Model 12's? I would like to continue to use the magazine but I want to get a better coal. I read somewhere about the acme detatchable mag kit but I can't get a hold of anyone over at SSS. Has anyone had any experience with these?

i have the Manners MCS-DBM Mini chassis and love it. it feeds the 6.5x47 flawlessly. </div></div>
I am shooting .308 right now. I did notice some cartridges loaded better than some but I am still wondering if I was installing the mag wrong or something else.

Re: Detachable mags for Model 700's
Gentlemen, what magazine system are you using for a 700 in .308? The kwik klip does not offer a conversion in .308, but I am interested in converting mine.
Thank you

Re: Detachable mags for Model 700's
Im using and AICS which incorporates a detachable mag system that uses AI mags. Wonderful system.
Anything that utilises AI type mags should do you well.
My intentions are to use Alpha Industries Type 2 .308 mags, as soon as they arrive. They are compatible with most AI mag type systems, but offer more OAL and the mag height is shorter.

Re: Detachable mags for Model 700's
Thanks for all the replies guys. What is interesting is that since I changed from the sps sporter stock, and installed my hs precision m24 stock, I am not experiencing any feed problems anymore. Wierd Huh?

Tag is simply a means for the person to return to a particular thread for any number of reasons. The "tagger" would simply check his posts and return to without searching the whole site.
