Mentioned In another thread that PT&G finally released a DBM for the Rem Model Seven. Had a chance to get it dropped into my .17P today, only took about 25 minutes of file work. Was telling Dave Bucks about it, so figured I'd snap some pics in case anyone else was interested...
The fit was actually very close to factory BDL inlet, just needed some relief in the front corners:
Drops in flush against the AWR stock:
Unfortunately, I was shipped the wrong magazine, so can't test feed/function yet. Stuck working all weekend anyway, so no biggie. By next week, I'll have one installed on the .22-243Win, as well...

Fred, I saw one set up like that this week. Very nice and operates smooth. My question is if they plan to come out with a stagger stack mag or at least a 5 rounder? Also, what kahles is that?

That's good to hear Geordie, thanks! The .308 based DBM accepts any AICS magazine.
This one I put on the .17Predator only accepts the AI polymer .223 mags, or MDT polymer .223mags. I tried six different AICS mags in this .223 based DBM, and they were too fat...
In truth, PT&G sent me the wrong DBM, as I ordered the .308 based AICS model for my .22-243. But instead of bitching about it, decided to keep it and install this .223 based version on the .17Predator. Have the 'correct' DBM on the way, plus a couple magazines for both.
Sometimes, shit just kinda works out...
