[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 266882, member: 10"] You could rebarrel and use the box mag you have or you could just install a 3.820" Wyatts mag box and allow you to seat the STW out where it should be with the heavy bullets. For long range hunting, I would probably opt for a new barrel in STW with the extended mag box to solve the OAL constraints of the factory Rem box mag. The reason I would stick with the STW is the ability to drive the heavier 180 gr bullets to higher velocities then the Rem Mag. Do not get me wrong, the Rem Mag is a great round and I used one for many many years with great results. I have tremendous respect for the 7mm Rem Mag but with the length of the Rem 700 receiver, you can easily take advantage of the STWs longer case. [/QUOTE]
