Need help with bottom metal for 7RM Savages

[7magsavage]

Ok guys here's the situation: I bought an accustock/accutrigger savage in 7RM two years ago when I decided I wanted to get into some long range shooting. Problem is, I have gotten the bug for it and enjoy it. I have shot a couple of competitions as well as taken the rifle hunting this year. As she sits, I have a McGowan SS match varmint contour bbl and that's all I have done to the gun itself.

Now, what I want: I want to order a McMillan A5 for it. I have quickly learned that single feeding after I exhaust my factory 3rnd detachable magazine in a match sucks. I need to know what my options are for bottom metal and fitting to an A5 where I can run a higher capacity magazine.

When I find the bottom metal that I am looking for, can I simply tell McMillan what bottom metal I have and they send me a stock that will work? Do I have to send it to a smith to order the stock? And lastly, if I want to take the gun hunting, am I then stuck with a high capacity magazine or is there other smaller magazines that would work with the bottom metal that would make it easier to hunt with?

Many thanks in advance gentlemen for the advice and information.

Steve

As for whether they will put the dbm in I am not sure but a quick call to mcmillan would probably clear up that question. I know places like CDI will inlet your stock for there bottom metal. As for hunting, a 5 round AICS mag does not stick out of the gun so far that it gets in the way imo. Do a quick google search on mcmillan stocks and you will see how far out your mag would stick out.

Yup!

And the DBM you want is a Savage LA DBM made by CDI Precision that takes AICS 300WM magazines.

Been there, done that. I had to send the BM in with my A5. Excellent work and a 2 week turn around.

When you say you sent the bottom metal in with it, what do you mean? You sent the bottom metal to McMillan? Gunsmith?

Also, how did you like the finished product? Was it worth it just to get more magazine capacity?
