Re: AICS Stocks
Knowing what you're referring to will help you buy the right thing.
AICS means "Accuracy International Chassis System". Hence, "AICS".
"AICS stock" is like "AICSCS" or "MacMillan stock stock".

Re: AICS Stocks
it'll work just fine but like mentioned already, get one with a 300 win mag magazine.

Re: AICS Stocks
There is no AICS magazine made specifically for 338 Win Mag. They make one for the 300 Win Mag and the 338 Lapua. Buy an AICS for the 300 Win Mag. The dimensions of the 338 Win Mag are close enough that it should work fine through the AICS magazine made for the 300 Win Mag. I have an AICS in 338 Lapua and I put some 300 Win Mag rounds in it. The Win Mag rounds are smaller in diameter than the Lapua and have a belt that the Lapua does not. Thet feed lips for the Lapua barely held the Win Mag rounds from popping straight out the top and the rear of the feed lips looked like they would catch on the belt during feeding. So I'm guessing the main difference between the Lapua magazines and the Winchester magazines are the feed lips. The non CIP Lapua magazines and the Winchester magazines will fit in either of the older non-CIP Chassis. There is a new CIP length 338 Lapua AICS out that takes a longer CIP length magazine. Neither the 300 Win magazine, nor the older non-CIP Lapua magazine will fit into these new chassis.

Re: AICS Stocks
Yes, any LA Rem 700 will fit into a LA AICS up to and including .338 Lapua. The issues will only be with the magazines because as far as I know AI only manufacture .300WM and .338LM mags. If your intended cartridge will work in either then you are good to go (.300WM and .338WM are basically very similar so there shouldn't be any issue). Mag lips can always be modified by hand (hammer, pliers etc.) Brownalls make a specific tool also.
