Re: Remington model 7 magazine length
Are you sure? The 260 model 7 I just sold I was loading to just shy of 2.800 at 2.775 Pretty sure the factory mag is the same length as a regular model 700 SA box,

Re: Remington model 7 magazine length
The m7 we just about finished up has a mag length that'll support a 2.8 COAL.
7-08 is the cartridge.
Hope this helps.

You're sure of what?
Your original post says mag is 2.3 but this says you're sure it is 2.830.
Would be nice if someone made a DBM for the M7. I think I have seen where R700 actions were modified to work with longer AW mags. Maybe one of our innovative builders here could come up with a DBM/action mod for the M7 and AICS mags??
I'd be interested.

Re: Remington model 7 magazine length
Anything is possible however fiddling with a feedramp to get a longer coal isn't a practice I'm real excited about. That ramp is also the lower lug abutment. Robbing material just for the sake of a longer seating depth isn't a practice I advocate. Many smiths do it and there prolly 10's of thousands of guns built this way that shoot just fine.
I still prefer to leave it alone.
