Christensen Arms Hunter Detachable Mag Bottom Metal La Aics Cip Length
The Christensen Arms Hunter detachable mag bottom metal gives your long-action Remington 700 a modern, efficient upgrade. This long-action AICS-pattern bottom metal swaps out your factory floorplate for true magazine-fed capability, letting you load and unload rounds quickly without fumbling with a single-stack feeder. It's built for hunters and shooters who want faster magazine changes and more field-practical ergonomics than a traditional hinged floorplate.
The Hunter model uses a magazine release lever positioned inside the trigger guard—a proven design that's intuitive once you get the muscle memory down and keeps the magazine seated securely during recoil and movement. Compatible with standard AICS-pattern magazines (CIP length; magazines sold separately), so you can standardize your magazine platform across multiple rifles if you run other AICS-compatible guns.
Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable working on a Remington 700. This is a direct bolt-on replacement for your existing bottom metal, requiring no permanent modifications to your action. Whether you're building a hunting rifle that needs faster reloads or upgrading an existing 700 to modern ergonomics, this bottom metal delivers the kind of practical improvement that matters in the field or on the range.
