What is interesting about magazines boxes is that at least in a Model 70 action a properly designed box can be less deep than the factory box and hold one more round.

The CZ 550 will hold 4 or 5 big bores down, depending on caliber from the factory, why do you need a drop box..It can even be modified to hold more...

the drop box can be modified to hold another..I have seen them, its done by using a deep dish floorplate and looks quit nice, I don't know how they feed however, but if your willing to spend the money then todays smiths can do anything.

Ralphie, how would you know that? Impossible I say!



P.S. please tell your boss to drag himself away from work long enough to check his email.

Don,

Thanks for the help. The 4X supposedly holds 5 416 Rem's. I think I'll get one to find out for sure.
