I have a .308 Win. Rem 700 PSS with the detachable magazine and hate it. Sometimes it falls out when I shoot and I can't seat bullets long enough to enhance accuracy without running out of room in the magazine.

 I took the rifle apart and it looks like the standard BDL drop floorplate will go right in.  I realize that there would be two ugly notches in the side of the stock but I would prefer those to the magazine setup that is there now.  

Before I invest the money in the BDL parts, has anyone tried this? Will it work?  Info appreciated.

I will only say that I have heard it works
Surely someone you know has the hinge setup and you can borrow it
