Are you talking about the floor plate style to allow you to load longer? If so, they typically require milling out the mag well to fit. They have instructions on their site. I had to do this on several of my Rem 700. You will want to ask them about Browning as I am not sure they make for anything other than a Rem style foot print.

With a browning you're pretty much stuck with what you have. I don't know of any extended mag box options.

I dont know anyone making a browning ( I'm assuming it's an x-bolt) style magazine other than browning
They most likely have a patent on the design-- heck, it's hard enough to find an aftermarket stock for them let alone a magazine

There is a browning mag option for the x bolt. Waters rifleman, they're well known for producing quality tikka mags. I have a thread on here somewhere about my x bolt 300 experience with them. It gets you too 3.62" according to the website. Prior to using a waters rifleman I was opening the front of the factory mags to get longer. Any longer than 3.65 and the bullet will catch on the receiver, thats as long as the mag well will accommodate if I remember.

Curious if anyone has tried these mags, specifically for the 300 win mag. I’ve always had trouble with the factory mags reliably feeding loads in fireformed brass, not to mention the COAL limitation. I’d modified a factory mag, hogging it out with a dremel to fit my brass, but it’s now laying...
Here's the link to that thread

Nice, I might try some too, but at $265 each for the la magnum it might be a bit --- don't really need a 7/8 rounder either

If you can find some friends that are interested as well he'll probably cut yall a deal. He took 100 off per mag for us, just buying 3.
