MDT built this Hunting Bottom Metal for folks who want to leave the internal box magazine behind and run detachable AICS mags in their Remington 700 long action rifle. It drops into stocks and chassis cut for the Badger M5 DBM profile, opening the door to whatever capacity you need for the hunt, from a flush-fitting 3-rounder to something with more on tap. The body is machined from anodized 6061 aluminum, so it stays light while holding up to years of field abuse.
The headline feature here is the lockable magazine latch with adjustable tension. You dial in exactly how much force it takes to release the mag, and you can crank it all the way down to lock the magazine in place so a bump in the brush or a hard fall on a steep sidehill never dumps your rounds. The release itself is a low-profile ambidextrous latch that hugs the front of the trigger guard, so lefties and righties both get a clean, natural reach.
Everything about this piece leans toward staying out of your way. The slim, low-snag body slips through thick cover, sticks, and brush without catching, which matters when you are picking your way into an ambush position or slinging the rifle across your back. Corrosion-resistant hardware and coating keep rust from setting in when the weather turns wet and miserable, and the whole assembly adds barely any weight to a lightweight hunting build.
The trigger guard opening is generous enough to clear both factory and aftermarket triggers, and a slot on the underside gives you access to pull-weight adjustment screws without pulling the barreled action out of the stock. Guys running MDT bottom metal against the RTG, Hawkins, and other options tend to rate this one at the top for fit and function. Keep in mind that stocks without a built-in micro-chassis will need pillars for a solid screw base.
This version is built for Remington 700 long action rifles and any stock or chassis cut for the Badger M5 DBM profile, including long action inlets set up for 3.850 inch CIP magazines. It drops into 700 clone actions with the same footprint as well. If your stock does not already have a micro-chassis or built-in pillars, you will need to add pillars for a stable screw base.
It runs standard AICS pattern magazines, which gives you a huge range of options in metal, polymer, or poly-metal. You can set it up with a flush-fitting 3-round mag for a clean hunting profile or step up to higher capacities when you want more rounds on board.
That is exactly what the adjustable tension latch is for. You can dial in the release force to your liking, and if you want zero chance of losing a mag on a hard hike or a fall, you can lock the lever down fully so the magazine will not budge.
Yes. The trigger guard opening is wide enough to clear both factory and most aftermarket triggers, and there is a slot on the underside that lets you reach the pull-weight adjustment screws without tearing the rifle apart.
