Bolt gun with detachable magazines

[bigtattoo79]

Looking for bolt guns with detachable magazines. Something tactical heavy bbl .308 cal.

What would you go with and why?

 

[TDH]

Badger m2008 action in an AICS chasis or McMillan A5 with Badger bottom metal.

Pick your choice on barrel. Surgeon 591 action would be awesome too.

Either setup would give you the option of 5 or 10 round Accuracy International mags.

Look hard at Savage, They have a detachable box magazine "tactical" style rifle.
The last issue of Shotgun News has an article on them.
They are an excellent value for the $$.

Not sure but looks good. I need to add up the prices of putting it together myself. And I did wanna keep it around $3000.00 so might be the one.

Also would like to know what yall think about a detachable magazine on a bolt gun?

You could do a nice #4 enfield for a lot cheaper!

 

[SpeedRacer]

FN Herstal's bolt guns are available with detachable mags as well. Great rifles and a lot of gun for the money.

The one you linked has a internal mag.

This one has detatchable

Why do you want a detatchable mag / What do you want the rifle for?

I like the concept. The price us up there for the most part on detatchable mags.

I want a sniper gun to pick off the bad guys.

LOL But it will just be used at the range.

I am really happy with my new Savage FCP-K .308
http://www.savagearms.com/10fcp.htm

The only issue is that I think I was given a defective magazine, as it only feeds correctly if three rounds are loaded. I just have not had a chance to call in for a replacement.

You could also buy a PGW Coyote. Why? Because there isn't anything better

Is pgw better than gap?

Is pgw better than gap?

By many people's standards. They far exceed the deployment missions of the AI Artic Warfare. You don't see many because they are busy and hard to import.

A Gap doesn't mean much any more unless it's got Georges mark on it. Not trying to down any of his gunsmith's but none of them are any better than APA, La Precision, or any of the other highly competent smiths.

 

[LACamper]

How about:

MSRP is higher than you want.... not sure if that's a real price though.

Are you saying that you don't see many AI because they are 'busy & hard to import'? If so, you don't know where to look. I worked intimately with Tac Pro Shooting Center and Accuracy International for quite awhile. AI can be a flaky company to deal with but the guns are availabe.

George does good work, but so does Preston [Surgeon] and David Rooney [Tactical Rifles] among many others.

If you are interested in running a Remington 700 platform, then the AICS is great way to go. It is literally a drop-in stock that isolates the action, free floats the barrel and gives you detachable box mag capability in 5 & 10 capacities.

If you want the best turn-key solution [and, in my opinion, better than building a custom 700], take a look at the AI AE, particularly the AE MK II. It's not an AW, but you can get any of the AW options except a butt spike, and it'll cost several grand less than an AW. The original AE fed off of a single column 5 rd mag. The MK II feeds of the AICS 5 & 10rd mags [same mags that the Badger Bottom Metal and most of the other Remington 700 mag feed conversions run off of].

I thought the AI 10 round mags had problems?

You read the post out of context. We were talking about the PGW Coyote. They take forever to get imported from Canada. I own AIAW rifles and AICS chasis systems with custom actions in them.

I recently posted pictures of my 338 Lapua on the forum. I'm a rifle whore. And a pistol novice.

LOL But it will just be used at the range.

For range use only I'd use an internal box mag with a floor plate and save the money or spend it on other aspects.

If money is not an issue . . . .
