Looking for suggestions on DBM for Rem700

[fredhorace77]

I currently have a rem.700 LVSF which is an ADL configuration. I am wanting to purchase a new stock with cut out for bottom metal BDL style and use a DBM. I would like your suggestions on what brand to purchase for the trigger guard assme. and magazines. This will be for a .223 and i would prefer that it have a DBM that fits flush and holds appox. 5 rounds....the ability to hold more is fine but for general hunting purposes 4-5 rounds will be sufficient. this is something i have been considering...any opinions on this transformation. This is a Wyatts conversion that ive been looking into..the thing i like about the wyatts is the release for the mag. is inside the trigger guard which is what i prefer. any suggestions about it? thnx for your help

I have a Badger in a long action and PTG in a short action. Both work well and AI mags. The PTG is a lot cheaper and I really can't tell the two apart quality wise. The mag release isn't inside the trigger guard though but I like it outside myself for quick, one-handed mag changes.

do you know if the wyatts will accept the AI mags or just their mags only?

I went with the PTG bottom metal in a Boyds Tacticool/Pro Varmint stock from MidwayUSA already inlet for the PTG bottom metal. Both were very inexpensive and a drop in fit. Of course, I'll have to do the bedding and pillars myself which I prefer anyway.

Apa bottom metal is pretty slick, you should check it out

Wyatt's Outdoors bottom metal uses Wyatt Outdoor boxes.

that APA bottom metal design looks really good. i like the sleek design. thanks so much for that lead.

Me and a few of my friends have the APA bottom metal and it works just fine too.

I use an HS precision on my 7-08 hunting rifle, and its almost flush, holds 3. I think the their 223 offering would work for your application. I'm happy with mine. My rifle looks like a hunting rifle and not tacticool.

If you want more than that I'd go with something that will take AICS type mags, something from Badger, Surgeon or PT&G not necessarily in that order.
