Overview
Built for precision rifle setups, this bottom metal is intended for shooters who want a detachable box magazine system on compatible long-action Remington 700 and Remington clone rifles. It is CNC-machined from a single piece of billet aluminum and includes a barricade stop in front of the magazine well, along with a drafted magazine port for its intended application. The unit fits M5 inlets and uses AICS pattern magazines, and it comes with action screws and bedding pillars. Its patented cantilever spring release is designed not to open under recoil, making it a practical choice for disciplined range work and field use where a secure magazine interface matters.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for Remington 700 and Remington Clone actions with M5 inlets, so fitment is specific rather than universal.

- Long-action configuration limits it to rifles set up for that action length.
- It includes action screws and bedding pillars, but installation and bedding requirements still depend on the host rifle and setup.
