Will a Rem 710 mag fit a Rem 700 action?

[bohem]

I'm working on a project that's based on using a 700 BDL magazine for a 30-06. The local place has a pair of 710 mags for 30-06 at 15 bucks each. Will they fit a Rem 700?

I don't think they will, but before I write off the cheap mags, I figured I'd ask the guys here who might have one.

Im almost positive they wont fit without modification or else everyone would have been doing this already...

Yeah, that was what I figured too, but thought I'd ask. This guy can be a real asshole sometimes, but once in a while he puts something on the shelf at the wrong price and doesn't know any better. When that happens I pick it up, say "yeah, I guess that's fair, beats waiting in the mail to save 4 bucks and take all of them."

That's what I did for the last 3 lbs of 4831sc he had that I nabbed for 20 bucks a pound.

Exactly why I jumped on it. My dad said his new shipment of the stuff was 28.99 a pound. He's still charging 52.99 for CCI primers and claiming "I can always get them, people sell them for a little less, but they don't have them on the shelf."

He's a gouger for sure. WWB 45acp ball is 52.99 for 50 rounds at his place.
