Description
If you've ever fumbled with a hinged floorplate or the old ADL loading routine, this is the upgrade that fixes it. The Christensen Arms DBM Bottom Metal SA Tactical converts your short-action Remington 700 to run AICS-pattern detachable box magazines, so reloads become as simple as dropping one mag and snapping in the next. It's built for the short action platform and finished in a subdued black that blends right in with a working rifle.
What Sets the Christensen Arms SA Tactical DBM Apart
The big difference between the Tactical and Hunter versions comes down to the magazine release. This Tactical model uses a paddle-style release out front of the mag well, which is the layout most precision and match crowd folks prefer for speed under a stage clock. It runs the widely available AICS pattern, so you're not locked into one brand of magazine. AICS, Magpul, MDT, and Accurate mags in the short action lengths all play nice, which makes finding spares easy and keeps your options open for different cartridges.
Built Light, Built Tough
The body is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and wears a Mil-Spec Type III hard-coat anodized finish, so it shrugs off field abuse while adding almost nothing to your rifle's overall weight. That matters whether you're building a backcountry hunting rig or a bench gun you'll haul to matches all season. The whole assembly tips the scales right around a fifth of a pound.
Fitting Notes Worth Knowing
This is a component part, not a drop-in for every stock. Inletting of the stock is usually required, and running bedding pillars helps lock in an exact fit with repeatable action screw torque. Stocks cut for an M5-style DBM inlet make the job much smoother, and for most folks a gunsmith install is the way to go for the cleanest result. Do it right and you'll have a magazine interface that feeds smooth and holds zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the Christensen Arms DBM Bottom Metal SA Tactical use?
It runs AICS-pattern short-action detachable box magazines. That means brands like AICS, Magpul, MDT, and Accurate in short-action lengths will fit and feed. Magazines are not included, so you'll want to grab the mag or two you plan to run alongside it.
Is this a drop-in part or does it need fitting?
It's a component part that typically requires inletting of the stock for a proper fit. Running the bedding pillars helps guarantee an exact fit and repeatable action screw torque. Stocks with an M5-style DBM inlet make installation easier, and for most builds a gunsmith install gives you the cleanest, most reliable result.
What's the difference between the Tactical and Hunter versions?
The Tactical model uses a paddle-style magazine release positioned in front of the mag well for quick reloads. The Hunter version places the release inside the trigger guard for a more low-profile feel. Both accept AICS-pattern mags, so the choice really comes down to which release style you prefer.
Will this fit a long-action Remington 700?
No, this is the short-action version and is built specifically for short-action Remington 700 receivers. Christensen Arms offers separate long-action DBM options if that's what your rifle needs. Match the action length to your receiver before ordering.
