  The older steel bottom mags were dedicated to one caliber but 30.06 should work, later they, Remington labeled long action calibers on the magazine, I.E. 30-06, 270, 280 and short action calibers were put on same magazines . In essence yes. If you have it try it.

  I would expect it to work just fine. I had a 742? (the pump action one) in 270 Win, for a short period of time. One of the magazines was marked 30-06.

  As far as my experience goes, there is no difference in the magazines for .270/.280/.30-06.
