Magasine and floorplate

[olsson]

This is my first thread. I am a month into my project of a 300whisper based upon a Remington 700 .222.
I am on the way to order a jeweltrigger, but are not sure what kind of floorplate and 5-10 shoot magazines (.223) that I should buy that will feed the 240gr SMK. I am looking at both the HS precision and Badger, help from experience holder of a 300whisper would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

The barrel will be a 1:8 LotharWalter, lenght 17.7 inches. Silencer is a SAI carbon, it only weighs 395gram (6095grain) and give an additional lenght of 3,8 inches on the barrel. I will use the 221fireball that I will neck up.

When I get the paintjob done, I promise some pictures. It will be very short and "tight" rifle for plinking and hunting.

Thank you all for reading this post and helping me out. If you have other ideas and recommendatin please let me know

i can't help you with your questions. i built my bolt whisper on a savage 12 single shot action.
just wanted to say welcome.

As far as I know, the Badger Ordnance short action mags are built around the .308 family of cartridges (.308, .260, .243 ect) and I don't think they will feed or even retain .223/.300 whispers.

I have a Remington based 300/221 and am waiting patiently for someone to build a 10 round mag but as yet it has not happened. At the moment your only choices are H-S Precision 5 round mags or Seekins which claim 6 round capacity. There are 2 other companies considering making options but we will have to wait and see if it actually happens

Thanks all. I have been spending some seriouse time on the net trying to find HS precision floorplate with 5rd magazine, but they seem to be sold out everywhere. Does anyone know who I shold call, or does anyone have one to sell. Pls PM me, thank you.

I promise to keep you guys updated on my project and the paintjob that will take place later this autumn.
