Wyatt's extended box?

[Buttermilk]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on which Wyatt's extended box I need?

I have a Remington M700 LSS LH in 300 RUM that I want to install the Wyatt's extended box on.

After looking at Wyatt's website, I'm left feeling unsure as to which one I need.

Pretty sure the one I want/need is the MBE-3. Can anyone confirm this?


Thanks.

You can go with this...

Wyatt's Outdoors Center Feed Extended Mag Box Follower Remington 700

Or just this.

Wyatt's Outdoors Extended Window Mag Box Remington 700 BDL Long Action

Personally, I'd go with the top one since both require gunsmithing to install them, plus you can load up to 4.000" cartridges if you need to.

OK. Got it figured out.

MBE-3 is the one that mimics factory style feeding.
CFE-12 is the one the converts to a center feed and might be a bit more finicky to fit.


Thanks!

The long box is not hard to do. Here is a Remington 700 I modified for the Wyatt CFE-9 3.990" box on a Lapua build.

Well, I didn't realize there was one that would allow a 4" COAL.

My current throat in my factory barrel allows about a 3.8" OAL, so the one i ordered will work.

If not, I'll do the 4" version later.


Thanks.

If you haven't already, look here.

Edd, I actually did check that out. It's part of what led to my uncertainty as to which specific box I wanted.

There are at least three Wyatt extended boxes that will work. I picked the one that will suit my needs.

Just found this thread, also looking for help. I am going to be shooting 215gn Berger hybrids from a300 win mag, what would be the best extended magazine for a rem 700.I don't want a detachable magazine. Thanks

I went with the MBE-3 which is only the box. It allows about a 3.825" OAL.

The CFE-12 is the same length but includes a follower for center feed. (Factory Remington feeds from the side).

The CFE-9 is a box and follower for center feed and allows ~4" OAL .

So essentially you pick based on what you want or how your chamber/throat is set up.


The 300WM might be fine in a factory Rem box at 3.6", even with a Berger 210. At most, I'd think the box that allows 3.825" would be more than ample.

Does the MBE-3 use the factory follower and spring or do you need to buy those to fit the MBE-3 specifically

 

[Buttermilk]

It uses the factory spring and follower.
