[QUOTE="toader, post: 2643358, member: 6289"] I for one am sorry I used the Hunter DBM!!! All my custom rifles have been "BDL" style with floor plates from different manufacturers over the years. Once I seen the flush fit with the Hawkins, I thought this was going to be the ****.... well its the **** all right....***!! Hawkins has tried to help, but my DBM system is still not very smooth....even after all the tips that were given on here!! My gunsmith used exact pillar specs given by Hawkins when he built the rifle....he stated with other brands of DBM's he can specifically tune the feed lips to each specific action....with the Hawkins you cannot. My rifle feeds cartridges...thats not the problem.....the problem is how smooth the cartridges feed.....NOT TOO SMOOTH!! My only option now is to try the Hawkins M5 Oberdorf "BDL" floorplate with mag box, spring, and follower. Lesson learned = if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! [/QUOTE]
