    She's got a 700 vtr. Blind mag. Need it to be mag fed. She's a girl with cute finger nails and has a lot of trouble with the top load. Just thought it would be something cool just for her.
    Ever consider a different stock / chassis for the 700 ? Amazon has Magpul Hunters and Tactical Works has;
    1.The DBM bottom metal for the Magpul Hunter
    2. An MDT Oryx chassis
    3. A KRG Bravo chassis

    +1 on the ORYX. Have it on my 6.5cm and wish I could find one for my 308. :)

    Now I just need to zero those two. :)

    The Mossberg MVP is in 7.62 NATO. Better than "308 only". Something to consider. They use very common M1A and AR10 mags interchangeably, too. Nothing like throwing in a 25 round Magpul mag if you want to. The MVP scout rifle version I handled this past year was to die for! My long range sniper Mossberg MVP LR version was just a little too heavy for my purposes. I'd much rather have the MVP than any 700 or Howa. I sold my stainless steel Browning 308 Abolt for that MVP. I've handled several Howas and I was not impressed with the chassis stocks. There was a lot of flex and twist in the polymer Howa stock when bench rested on a bipod. I can imagine the same would be true if hung out of a shooting house window, resting the stock on a window sill

    Going for final look on Tuesday/Wednesday. If the bride really likes it, valentine's day is done. Checking cheek weld, eye relief and overall fit. Now she'll need a new fde hardcase.
