Description
If you've been thinking about ditching the hinged floorplate on your 700 BDL, this Howa detachable magazine kit delivers an easy path forward. The conversion takes just a few minutes and requires only basic hand tools to remove and replace your existing trigger guard assembly.
What's Included in the Howa Detachable Mag Kit
The kit ships with one durable polymer 5-round magazine and a new trigger guard assembly designed to drop right into your existing BDL action. Everything you need comes in the box, including detailed installation instructions. The polymer construction keeps things lightweight while providing the durability most hunters and range users expect from a field-tested product.
Drop-In Installation with No Gunsmithing Required
This kit's biggest selling point is simplicity. You swap out the original bottom metal and trigger guard assembly for the new one, snap the magazine into place, and you're ready to roll. The whole process typically takes less than 10 minutes. Because it's truly drop-in ready, you won't need to spend money at a gunsmith or deal with any fitting and inletting work on your stock. The black polymer finish keeps the profile low and factory-looking.
Compatibility and Real-World Functionality
This 5-round kit works with Remington 700 BDL long-action rifles chambered in .270 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, and .30-06 Springfield. Once installed, you can load a magazine separately and swap it for fresh ammunition without ever having to work the bolt. That matters whether you're hunting, running a match stage, or just want the flexibility of carrying an extra loaded mag in your pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Howa detachable mag kit fit my Remington 700 BDL without any modifications?
Yes, it's designed as a true drop-in conversion. You simply remove the original trigger guard and bottom metal assembly, then swap in the new parts included in the kit. No stock modification, inletting, or gunsmithing work is needed for standard BDL stocks. Installation typically takes under 10 minutes with basic hand tools.
Can I use this kit with wood stocks on my Remington 700?
This kit will fit most BDL-pattern stocks, including wood models, but wood stocks manufactured to different specifications may have varying trigger guard-to-action dimensions. Most users report drop-in installation without issues, though occasionally minor fitting may be needed depending on the specific stock. If you have an older or custom wood stock, verify that it's inletted for a BDL-style bottom metal before purchasing.
Are extra magazines available for this detachable mag kit?
Yes, additional 5-round polymer magazines designed to fit this system are available separately. Check with your retailer for compatible magazine options to have spare loaded mags on hand during hunting or range sessions.
What's the advantage of using detachable magazines on a Remington 700?
Detachable magazines let you quickly swap loaded mags without working the bolt, making it faster to get back in the action during a hunt or competition stage. You can also carry spare loaded magazines for extended field use, and reloading becomes more convenient than top-loading through the action.
