I ran a Wyatt set up fpr about a year, used it with the B&C A2 stock. It dropped into this stock, I had no real issues with it. I had to shim the floorplate a little to get positive reliable feeding in this stock: I ran a 5 rnd and 10 round, the ten rounder is a little wieldy in the prone. Decent system for the price.
I now have an AICS 1.5 .......

| I have one in my basement that I've been meaning to put up on the EE. I ran it with a B&C A5 stock, but when I bit the bullet and sent my action out to LRI and had it trued and re barreled I wanted to try a different stock. Ended up with an XLR element and now using AI mags. Honestly - I think the Waytts system is pretty damn good for the price. I never had an issue with it (I did have to shim it during installation and had planned to bed it to the stock but never did). It fed very nice and the magazines felt like very high quality pieces (i.e. I don't notice a big difference... if at all... between them and the AI mags... but I haven't really sat them both down for comparison either). |
| It's a piece of shit. I have the 5 round mag and the 2nd to last round would fail every time. Yes I tried the supplied shims in every possible combination, no difference. Figured out the problem is in the magazine. Their mag spring is ony half as wide as the mag and the follower would nose dive on the 2nd to last round. An anti-tilt follower would fix this however I solved the issue by bending the top coil of the spring to run the full legnth of the follower. Lame. |

I have no experience with anything other than AICS mags. Mostly because I do not want to buy twice. GL with your purchase, it may work well for you as I am sure it has for others. |

I bought one a couple of years ago to go into a Remington 700 LTR. I bought it because it was a drop in and the price. When I researched them at that time on here, they seemed to get positive reviews. I installed it and put both a 10 round and a 5 round mag in. I want a DBM for at least 10 rounds. After just playing with the different mags and laying prone on my family room floor, I quickly decided I was returning it. As others before me said, the 10 round mag is very long. Laying prone with the 10 round mag in was not happening. I never shot the rifle with it installed so I can not say how it functioned.
Just my opinion..go with something else. |

Not a drop in and would be a major pia to install. OP never stated what stock he has or inlet or if he has even ordered a stock. I spent about 4 hours slowly opening up my BDL inlet stock and now I have a full length pillar bedded stock with a quality DBM system... I could have bought the stock with the correct inlet from the begining for the same price as one without the inlet needed, but I got my stock at nearly half price. |
