Great looking product!

Did my homework and selected this product for my Rem 700 Sendero based on reviews. When I installed it my first problem was the front action screw now intruded into the action and prevented the bolt from closing. The second issue was the back of the magazine made contact with the lower back bridge of the action and therefore was difficult to install and wouldn't drop from the action when the release was pressed. I installed a .012 shim to correct the problem but then had a problem feeding the last round, (yep, all it takes it .012 to jack it up). I almost sent it back but decided to try removing .015 from the front action screw. The bolt can now close and after testing over three ten round mags I can say it feeds correctly. In defense of HS Precision I seem to always have weird problems when buying and installing stuff like this. I would give it five stars if instructions addressing how to resolve potential problems had been included. I expect it to work as advertised and will repost if I have any major failures. I like that it's a double stack mag and think it's the best looking of all the DBM's on the market.

Just what I was hoping it would be.

I purchased this to upgrade my Remington 700 ADL to a Hogue BDL Stock + the Detachable Magazine. First is that with this Hogue stock I had to do some minor filing and fitting. It does not drop in. It is worth the work and not too hard, if you take your time. It is a great fit and improvement over firing one round at a time. Parts quality is the best I've seen. If you are the patient type you will not be disappointed.
