Currently available way to get a 4 round magazine Winchester 70 375 H&H

[MaxM25]

I have read about the Duane Weibe XRM magazine box that was available for the Winchester 70 in 375 H&H. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be available anymore. Is there anyway that is currently available to increase the magazine capacity? I read something about changing the magazine spring to one without a hump using Winchester P/N U356420930 Magazine Spring L/A; does that work? It really seems a shame that the XRM stopped being available.

On another forum in post 5112441 they mention specifically that there is a Winchester mag box and follower that enable 4 rounds of 375 H&H. I cannot find the thread in the Gunsmithing section of that forum.

For some reason I am not able to type the name of that forum in a post on this forum. To my surprise I just get a “Not Permitted” word replacement. I have never seen that happen on a forum before.

Interesting, I found a mention in post #4 on another forum of the same point. The guys say they always change the follower and spring so they can load a 4th 375 H&H round in a Winchester 70 Classic.

Jim Brockman, http://www.brockmansrifles.com/index.php has made a few extended Model 70 magazine floor plates for me.

I know nothing about this company or the product. I'm just sharing a link:

Sunny Hill Enterprises - 70 Winchester

I thought it was interesting that there is mention of a spring and follower change that can get a 4th round of 375 H&H in the magazine.

It looks like that bottom metal had an Oberndorf release. Is there anyway pro/con to that style compared to the push button on the Winchester from the factory?

Whatever you decide to do just make sure that it works very well before going on a DG hunt with it. These kind of modifications scare me so just be careful.
