Any other Alaskan Brush Hunters out there?

>So your rifle is a staggerfeed side button release.

Yes but I bought just the CF action. I had it in a internal mag stock for years then bought the entire DBM setup here.
The DBM actions have a bit of material removed from the lower part of the slot which I decided not to do. I banged filed and trimmed until I got the bottom metal to fit my action. Also had to work on the mag a bit too. Wish I would have just dremeled the action instead, but it works.

>Nice stock.

Thanks - Texture painted dark gray the fusion paint tan and olive applied with a rough sea sponge.
Nice grip-able finish.

>Still deciding what option to go, factory dbm will cost about 2/3-3/4 the cost of aics system by the time I get it to Canada.

How about just buying one up there ? The one I found on ebay less the mag was super cheap like less than $30.

>I had a rem 7400 30-06 clip I thought might work, but it won't hold more than 3 338 win mags. I am used to a gun holding 5 rounds, so I think I might just spend the money on the AI mags and mag well,

How about a 10 round remington mag with a block in it ?

>further up on the forum someone talked about a PTG bottom metal coming out in a month or so for LA savages for $129, that would be a good deal.

That was me I think. I just ran into that on the PTG site, but its $130 for that and $90 for each 5 round mag and $125 for the 10 rounder.

In my case I am not sure the PTG bottom metal will fit since I have a stagger feed. Nobody at PTG will answer my question. If not the only other option is the CDI bottom metal at $210.

>This rifle was more of a backup or long range rifle, my moose rifle for years has been a Remington 7600 pump in 308 win. It shoots 1 inch groups or sometimes better. It is great for running moose, or multiple moose, you can get controlled shots out of a pump nearly as fast as a semi-auto. The 338 win mag would be the one to reach for over 200 yards for sure though.
Let me know how your build works, when I get the parts and the money together I'll let you know about my build.[/QUOTE]

First thing I will try is the Remington magazine. Its so close, for $30 its worth a try.
