Would this be an accurate description? Remington 700 short action varmint in 243 with a 22" barrel and Bell and Carlson stock? How would I describe the magazines? AICS? They are single-stack magazines. Does anyone know if this was ever a factory offering? Thanks, Tony.

wanna say I have seen that stock as a factory option, but not sure who made the triggerguard/mags, what year is the barrel date? look that up (I Cannot make out the letter shown) and then google for a catalog for that year, it's relatively modern, since it has that Remington rustomatic express looking finish https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Remington did offer the 700 in a DBM option. Detachable box magazine. The mags in your photo look like BAR mags. MDT makes AICS detachable for the 700. I draw a blank on this Remington. | |||

BTW, it's bottom metal looks to have been opened up to accept those magazines. I have seen Garands altered to take BAR magazines. | |||

Over the years, I think there's at least a couple companies that made mag conversions-or maybe one marketed under different names. I have one of them on my long-action 700; it's called Kwik-Klip, or something close. The magazines look much like that, and there was one four-rounder that came with the bottom metal. 10-rounders were also available, and I have at least one. If that rifle has a KK conversion or the like, I don't think the bottom metal is opened up. They're aluminum, and that's likely wear from insertion..maybe a slight relief to make them easier to drop. EDIT: TREXLER KWIK-KLIP | |||

Remington made a 700 SPS Tactical for some time with a 20" heavy barrel, and greenish synthetic stock. Digging just a little on the internet, .243 wasn't one of the chamberings. The older 700P (Police) was available in .243. | |||

Remington also made a 700 “Long Range” with a heavy barrel and Bell & Carlson stock. None that I’ve seen were mag fed from the factory. | |||

Perhaps a version of the 700 LTR (light tactical rifle)? Or one with stock replaced? ------------------ The plural of anecdote is not data. -Frank Kotsonis | |||
