Anybody know about these? I'm just looking for something to increase my ammo capacity until I decide to drop the coin on a detachable mag set up and this looks like a low cost option, but I'm curious to see if anybody here has any first hand use with them. Rifle is an SPS Tactical in .308.

Good enough for me. Ordered, and I'll see how well it works on my rifle.

I have one, it required minor filing to allow the latch to fit properly. I would reccomend it.

Hay, these are bolt guns, not assault weapons!

Nothing wrong with wanting to add a couple more rounds without having to go detachable mag.

Some Remington 700's don't take 5 rounds in the magazine and feed smoothly, some don't feed smootly with 4 rounds in the magazine. Adding the extended floorplate allows 2 or 3 extra rounds in the magazine and seems to feed more smoothly with some rifles.

Personally I don't see a need for more than 7 to 10 rounds in a bolt gun magazine. 10 + round magazines tend to shift the balance of the rifle.

Re: Rem 700 extended floorplate?

Ok, got this yesterday and installed it today. Just as it says, I'm now able to load 7+1 rounds of .308 in my rifle with no modifications other than installing this floorplate as per the instructions. Last couple rounds were a little tough to load, but that's mostly because I'm new to bolt rifles and top loading with a scope over the loading area. Went to chamber the first round and the bolt wasn't catching it. Tried again thinking maybe as the bolt passed over it maybe it adjusted the angle and would catch it now but it didn't, so I just open the bolt and pushed the round downward with two fingers and then tried again with success. After that, all 6 remaining rounds chambered with no problems.

I would recommend this product to anybody interested. For $20, what do you have to lose?

I have a couple of these and will pretty much agree with everything that has already been said. Work good and much more affordable for us mall ninja's. Win, win.......
