Shooting 7 mm WSM in stock remington action

[radmcg]

Any of you guys shooting the WSMs in stock remington actions? What mags are you using? Badger, wyatt box or what? Anyone shooting 180 bergers from the magazine? Opinions appreciated

What mods to the mag? Is it something I can do myself? I have heard they hate the double stack 10 round AI mags.
Thanks for the input. BTW great looking rifles.

Take out front plate of mag. Mod mag lips to accept larger case.

The receiver needs to be modified if you plan on shooting Bergers.

Yup, nearly forgot about that. The feed ramp will need to be notched.

Now we're getting to the crux of the matter. What is entailed in that? Is it a simple Gunsmith thing or is it something I need to have GAP or someone like that do?

Should be something simple any gunsmith should be able to do.
