Win Model 70 internal magazine length .30-06?

[Falar]

I'm thinking about picking up one of these and using it as a hunting gun for a while while I get some stuff together to turn it into a custom. I've always wanted a solid mauser style action and I think now is the time. However, I was hoping some of you guys that own one in .30-06 could tell me how long you can load your ammo and still fit in the mag. I prefer 200+gr bullets so loading long is always a plus. As far as I know there is no way to rig up a DBM type system to a model 70 long action (are there even any AICS type mags that work with '06?) so the internal mag is probably all I'd be able to use.

I don't see who would want to use that though. It requires modifying the bolt stop, receiver, AND ejector. No thanks.
