If you've got a Remington 700 in 6.5 Creedmoor and you're tired of working around that factory hinged floorplate, a detachable magazine conversion kit transforms your rifle into a modern, faster-reloading platform without buying a new gun. The Howa 5-round magazine kit replaces your stock triggerguard and floorplate assembly with a drop-in bottom metal setup that accepts a true detachable box magazine—meaning real speed when you need to reload between shots or swap loads on the fly. For hunters stacking the deck in competitive rifle seasons, or shooters who value the convenience and reliability of a dedicated mag system, this is a practical upgrade that keeps your 700 in the fight.
The kit ships with everything you need: the 5-round magazine itself and the drop-in bottom metal assembly that does the heavy lifting. Both components are built from reinforced, injection-molded polymer—a tough, lightweight choice that keeps weight down and cost reasonable while delivering years of field and range use. Installation is straightforward: remove your factory floorplate and hinged assembly, drop in the new bottom metal, and torque the screws to spec (30–35 inch-pounds). Because it's a true drop-in design, you can preserve your original parts and swap back anytime if you ever decide to return your rifle to stock configuration.
The 6.5 Creedmoor is one of today's most popular long-range hunting and precision rifle cartridges, and a 5-round capacity keeps your magazine compact while still giving you two follow-up shots in the magazine plus one in the chamber. If you shoot a 700 BDL and want the speed and reliability of a detachable mag system without the expense of a new rifle, this kit bridges that gap cleanly.
