Yup, about ten of them, and I've repaired four trigger gaurds that were broken.
They have to be set up perfectly, and the magazines tuned or they skip cartridges out, fall out of the actions, and jam every now and then!

I have had one for many years.......generally operates well.......but.......if your a handloader, you run out of clip length before you can get your bullets close to the lands .

Thata is an issue with many detachable magazines Skinny!
The Browings are notorious for that, but I have found it not to be an issuefor the most part, that the rifles I have loaded for .
Accuracy was very good with mag length OAL.

The magazine lips can get a bit bent on the Kwik Klips, but they are very easy to adjust....

My factory remington removeable mags have the same internal length as my fixed remington magazines.

I think the sako long actions also have no problems with long AOL cartridges.
Savage is another that will not accept overly long cartridges.

HS Precision makes a clip system that fits the 700.

I've seen them mounted on a rifle made by Corlane Sports.

Have you considered getting the bottom metal and clip for the Remington clip system? You would need to inlet your stock for it to work, but it should work with no other issues. I found a stock designed for the clip, and the bottom metal/clip. Bolted them on and have had to make no other adjustments.

The thing is, the kwik clips are a fraction of the cost of the Vbull or HS Precision kits.
I've inletted the Kwik Klips into blind mortice Remingtons, the wood is actually pretty thin in that area and it is not a big deal fro someone that knows how to use hand tools...

Go with H-S Precision's kit. The Kwik-Klip is overpriced junk.
