as a remington 700 vtr owner, i think its necessary to have the use of a magazine rather than the hinged floor plate that is stock. So i purchased the H-S Precision detachable magazine system. For anyone interested in this system, be prepared for some minor modification to your stock. although it appears that it will fit right in, it does not. First remove the 2 allen bolts from the floorplate with a 4mm allen wrench. NOTE the longer bolt goes in the rear hole and they will not work the other way around. before doing any cutting try to put in the new DMS to see where it is tight. for me, i had to file down all four sides of the stock, the most being along the rear. then once the DMS slides in you will need to remove a 3/8" cube from the square lip on the rear on the hole. this is where the release spring on the DMS is and will otherwise not work. I found it easiest to use my dremel to remove most of it and then i used one of my fine woodworking chisels to fine tune the fit. once this was done it was just a matter of shimming. my fitment required the use of a washer as a spacer to front attachment to line up properly. then i loaded the magazine up and tried cycling the ammuntion to see if it feeds properly. It feeds flawlessly! the bolt picks up the round perfectly and the front of the round had 0 alignment issues. loading the 10th round in the magazine is a little tight, but this should loosen a little with some use. the last round also loaded flawlessly, which was an initial concern of mine. the only complaint i have is that there is a little rattle when the mag is clicked in. the gap between the mag and the well is so small that the only reasonable solution would be to spray a thin coat of black primer on the mag. Overall, i'm very happy with this purchase and really have no major complaint about the system. I have not tested it at the range yet so as soon as i do i will check back in and let y'all know how it works. i'll also put up some pics of the finished product once i get home from work. if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.

That's funny. I did the opposite with my Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine. I bought the "Fred Sled", which replaces the magazine and makes the gun a single feed. I'm happy to load the bullets one at a time.

I have been looking at the Badger DBM conversion for my Remmy. I am also looking at the AICS system that is a precision stock and DBM in one. I looked at the HS system, but IIRC they are proprietary on the magazines. Let us know how it works at the range.

so for anyone that cares, i put about 70 rnds thru with the 10 round mag. with all 10 rnds in, the first round is a little tough to chamber, only because of the amount of upward pressure from the mag spring. other than that everything is perfect and i highly recommend the system to anyone that is interested. btw, i bought it from snipercountrypx.com great prices on sometimes hard to find items
