[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 134506, member: 10"] The Rem 700 ADL 30-06 receiver has the same length magazine box window in the receiver as say a 300 RUM in the Rem 700. Length will not be an issue. YOu will need to adjust your feed lips slightly but this is generally not a huge deal. If you have the receiver accurized, it is a simple matter to open the bolt face up for the belted mag case head when the bolt face is trued. Also, in my shop at least, its shop policy to fit a Sako extractor to any Rem 700 receiver that is accurized. Again, this is not a problem at all and works very well. If you want to shoot the 180 gr Berger bullets, I would recommend fitting a Wyatts extended mag box to your receiver. This will allow an OAL of 3.910" to be used with your ammo letting you seat those long bullets out where they need to be and still function as a repeater. May have to change to a BDL stock design though or have the Wyatt box depth decreased which may take away one round of magazine capacity. This is not a big deal to do but does take a little investment to do so. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
