[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1079860, member: 30743"] Factory remington magazine boxes will only take 2.800" rounds, that's .080" shorter than the AICS magazines. The extra length is one reason people go to the AICS mags, but it's still too short for a 260 with long bullets. You can get more length with a BDL setup by using a Wyatt's extended box but it's not a drop in solution. The receiver has to be milled for it & the stock modified. It's a lot of work when you could just start with a round that fits in the first place. A 260 shooting long bullets is a poor choice for a short action remington if you want it to magazine feed.
