I'm getting a Surgeon DBM for a Rem 700 in .223.
What are the most reliable mags for this setup? |

Maybe Accurate Mag? Link
You can still find the AI polymer magazines around too it seems. |

Quoted: I'd put an ar dbm on the 700 if it was me just for compatability and ease of finding quality mags. |

Yeah that doesn't work. 700 doesn't use double feed mags and it would be silly to limit yourself to that oal. You can squeeze quite a bit of performance out of a 223 seated longer. Quoted:

I bought a dozen AI mags several years ago. They feed 223 AI and 300 Whisper excellent. I have heard some people complain of feeding issues with the AI mags. I don't even know if AI makes them anymore.
I have seen several local guys have good luck with Accurate mags. |

I am not sure what the most reliable 223 mag is as I am currently in the same boat. What I do know is that the AI mags were discontinued since they were outsourced and he quality control was not to their standard. The AI mags have a tendency to separate at the seems if they are loaded in excess of 10 rounds. It puts too much stress on the plastic weld. I have seen some reports of feed lip issues.
With that said, I just bought 3 of them to feed my new addiction. I will beat them up and hope they last. Rumor has it that AI is working on a metal 223 mag. Lets hope it come to fruition. |
