Bottom Metal Advice

[RoverG79]

I need to upgrade bottom metal on my 300WM because it wont hold MK248 ammo. I don't need or want a DBM on this rifle as I am trying to keep it light. advice

I added a picture to make the post interesting.

Re: Bottom Metal Advice

do you have the stock bottom on it? Is that an HS precision stock? I know that Badger and Surgeon both make bottom hardware that are nice. I believe HS precision also makes some.

yeah it's the stock bottom metal. I'm pretty familiar with all the after market brands, what i don't know is which is going to hold and cycle long seated 300WM ammo.

Just have your stock,action modified and use a wyatts extended magazine box.

What kind of action modification will it need?

ETA: From Wyatts: The rear of the magazine cut-out in the bottom of the receiver must be milled back .125", and the bolt stop must be shortened .110".

Any other solutions out there?

The modifications are very minor any smith can knock it out in no time.
