[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1204949, member: 35183"] While adjusting the feed lips might work, I feel it would be a lot more reliable to guide the tip of the bullet, which is clearly what is done on many other rifles. The fact is that the bolt makes contact with the upper rear surface of the cartridge to provide motive force and that force tends to make the tip of the cartridge dive down, not go up. The only thing preventing a dive is the upward force of the follower, which is pretty weak in a Savage detatchable magazine. The force on an AR follower is quite different. [/QUOTE]
