Remington 700 bottom metal

[Tyler Kemp]

What is your favorite Remington 700 SA bottom metal inlet? Alternatively, what do you feel that other designs are lacking?

I'm working on a bottom metal project, but am unsure what inlet to go with, as creating a footprint seems counterproductive.

No experts have stepped in yet so I'll give you my more novice opinion as the owner of a few 700s. I don't think you can go wrong with bottom metal if you spend at least $200. I would probably go Badger, Wyatt, or DD Ross etc.

Then again I have no issue using the BDL bottom metal for more occasional range and hunting use.

Fyi, Spartan Rifles just came out with their bottom metal. Has some really cool features at a great price point.

BDL and M5 inlets are probably the two most popular.

Badger makes a NICE piece (M4) .....but the release is a PITA

I've had the PT&G bottom metal on my 700PSS for well over a year and have been more then happy with it. For what you would pay for a Badger, you can get a PT&G and sent it out to have it routed outed professionally on a CNC. I'm not jumping out of airplanes and dragging it across no mans land... so for what I wanted, it fit the bill nicely.

no regrets and would do it again...

I would never pay $200 plus for bottom metal, for me, absolutely no reason too....

I'm going to go with a KMW Mk-1 DBM, the predecessor to the Surgeon bottom metal. I really like that it protects the front of the magazine if you want to ram it into a barricade a little harder than you meant to. That's definitely a feature I look for.

Tyler,

Thanks for the info guys. I'll show everyone the work in progress when we get to milling a prototype.

If you could make a near drop in fit for a BDL with minimal work that takes AICS mags, I think it would be very popular alternative. I have the Gen 2 Badger M5 and really like it's design features.
