Bought AICS 5 rnd mags and Rem SA AICS bottom metal.

I don't even use the rifle myself except to check zero every now and then so it better work

there is a product called Fluna tec sold by Reloader supplies that may help you stop a lot of these problems it is a spray-on coating that is suitable for all types of rifles, pistols, and knives is effective on metal and plastics and maintains long-lasting weapon performance and accuracy highly effective protection against wear. the residue-free solid lubricant protects the weapons from corrosion.
I used it to stop my blued rifles from going rusty in my gun safe food for thought

If a magazine poking out bothers you, you can get flush fit 3 round AICS mags

Just finished fitting the bottom metal to the Deviant. Took a bit of work with the dremel but its now fitted and works perfect.
Dunno if I made the right call for a hunting rifle but time will tell. Have to buy a new stock if I change my mind again anyway

That’s a nice piece of kit @R93. If I was guiding I would be reluctant to hand that over to a client for a South Westland thrashing. I'd handing them a bog standard tikka with a decent scope, and maybe a suppressor. Let them gark that up

I hear ya. They normally only get it when it's time to do some shooting.
Its been on a few hunts since I got it and not a mark on it so far.

My business owns it so it's not like it's my personal rifle which I used for a while and it stressed me out a bit. It also imo, displays some professionalism and confidence for the clients compared to a bog standard factory gun...Not that there is anything wrong with using one.

Yeah I spose it does. The way I walk around and carry a rifle it would take some getting used too because of where my hand goes but shouldn't be an issue for clients when they normally walk around with it slung until they need it

For the avoidance of ambiquity...I think it looks great.

Yup. Doubt it will rust now. Feeding is smoother and precise.

@R93 whats the max OAL on those mags? I'm guessing there is no binder strip in them.
