Gunsmithing Cip mags in Rem 700 la work? No mods

[Schw15]

Ive heard you had to modify the action on rem 700 to use cip mags then others say no just buy the cip bottom metal and mags and good to go. Anyone with experience with this

 

[Kevins750]

I am not sure what CIP means but I have PTG bottom metal with 3.775 mags on a 7mm mag and it just dropped in an HS precision stock.

You'll probably need to inlet the stock for a CIP (3.85") bottom metal if your's a factory stock

A 3.850 length magazine will run without any receiver modifications in an M700 300RUM length action.

Just checked it.

My action is just a Remington 700 long action 300 Win Mag. I have a greybow ridgeback stock I can buy the CIP bottom metal but also the chassis offer CIP magwells but I've Been Told it will work and then it won't work

it will work with the 3.775 magazines which are 3.65 coal.

mods needed for CIP.

like chad said. need the RUM length action for CIP mags

Awesome thank you for all that info. Glad i asked because i had such mixed answers

Are the RUM actions longer than long actions or do they have a different mag well cut to accept the longer rounds?

they are the same length action and same length mag well, the only difference is the feed rails.

Rails or ramps? I hear the feed ramp needs to be modified. What would those modifications be? Anyone have pics of the "after"?
