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.

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.
