    Default Remington 700 VLS detachable magazine

    The 308 Remington 700 VLS comes with a top feed magazine. Is it possible to convert a rifle with a top feed magazine so that it can take a detachable magazine?

    I think that Robar and Badger Tactical make kits to convert to M14 mags. Rem 700 only if I recall.

    Nice, I see those companies are in the US. Can local gunshops or gunsmits also get hold of those kits or where can I get such a kit in SA?

    I am also looking for a detachable magazine kit for my Remington 700 VLS. A few shops can "source" it at around R5k, but thats mad since a Howa kit goes for around R850 in SA gun shops.

    When I upgraded my standard 700 VLS Stock to a Bell and Carlson, the guys at Morkel & Crouse in Safari Outdoor Rivonia offered me an upgrade to a mag fed option.
    From what I gather it would have used Accuracy International mags
