So to start off I have a Rem 788 22-250 in a Boyd’s thumb hole stock that I shoot quite often. It has proven to be a consistent 3/4 MOA gun with hand loads. The only issue is the 3 round mag. For hunting I don’t mind it but when it comes to target shooting the 3 round mag gets a bit annoying. I am having trouble finding anyone that has made new bottom metal or has modified one to take AICS mags. Anyone who has seen or heard or it done or has any ideas? Thanks!
 
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'm not sure what you're looking for exists. This very same question, almost verbatim, has come up here a couple times and on another site and the general consensus was that it's not really viable.

I was kinda thinking that would be the case. I had seen some of the 2017 and older threads with not much luck and was hoping someone was stir crazy during quarantine and thought of something
