I own the green with black web. Its on my Savage action currently as a .223. I'm very happy with it and would not hesitate to buy an other one.
The only issues I had was the space for the trigger guard was a little too small. 2 minutes with a dremel and all is good. I'm sure sandpaper would also work, just take longer. The other issue was getting the internal mag to stay "seated" in the stock. Not sure why I couldn't get it to stay initially, but once I finally got it in place, it hasn't moved and the stock has come off a couple of times.

not happy with it at all. first, the action screws wont work. need longer ones. no big deal, it actually states in the instructions that longer ones may be needed. BUT, when i mocked it up, the gap at the end of the stock is insane. the barrel doesnt even lay in the channel. its basically above it. has anyone experienced this?

Is your 700 an ADL or BDL/SPS?
When I couldn't get my blind mag seated correctly, the outcome was pretty similiar to what I am envisioning your problem is. I couldn't close the bolt because it would get caught on the blind mag and the barrel sat high.
Pictures would be helpful.
Have you tried installing the action without any of the magazine stuff in it? If it sits better, that could indicate the magazine is what's keeping it from sitting correctly.
If I remember correctly, they are inletted for 1.25" barrels, so smaller barrels will have some space, but it should still look like the barrel is "in" the trough, not on top if it.. at least that's my experience.
