Detachable magazine? ?

[T 700]

I need so advise, I have a 260 on Remington short action setting in McMillan a5 stock BDL setup, I want to feed it from detachable magazine.

I have looked at the wytt's setup, it says all u have to do is shim it and bolt it in.

Has anyone used the wytt's setup without problems? or should I look at accuracy international mags with PTG bottom metal? ?

My cartridge oal is 2.89

Or would I be better off to just get stock inletted for what I need??

Thanks T 700

If you want it to feed from a DBM, why are you looking at the Wyatts???????

Buy once ,cry once, get what you want and don`t look back.

Life is too short to be unhappy....

I've installed three of the AI/PT&G bottom metal sets on 2 Remmy's and a Stiller. Good stuff!! I could go measure, but I think 2.89 would fit fine.

Ok. I had to go measure. My mag inside is 2.898.
Also, I try to wait until they go on sale at Midway but I think The last time I got one, Ptg had the best price.

Just fitted a PT&G on a SA Manners. Took some opening up but very good product. I have accurate mags for it. They fit up to 2.960 cartridges. I'd recommend PT&G for bottom metal. The PT&G M5 is what I have. Didn't care for the PT&G Stealth bottom metal. Wanted a flush fit bottom. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replys, I might have to bit the bullet and get PTG

I've heard the cdi bottom metal is good too.

I had a Wyatt's dbm, smoothest dbm I've ever owned. But mags were a bitch to load, bought the tool for loading, it helped. Also, the 10rd mag about 8" tall, it's not a quasi double stack like others, cases on top of each other like a 1911 mag.
Wyatt's are usually drop in fit, where most others require inletting of some kind. Also, one guy didn't like PT&G stealth, it's not flush, but front part butts up a barricade nice, but there's way better systems for that also.
For your oal, you'd best be served with system that allows you to run accurate mags w/o the binder plate.

About any smith who installs a dbm.

Really at no extra cost?Thats good to know the next time I'm in the market for bottom metal.

 

[JRS]

I looked at everything available and chose the Seekins DBM.

 

[joshb]

Because..........?

 

[JRS]

Because Glen's work is second to none, his DBM doesn't have a lever hanging down, and it accepts AICS (the best) magazines.
