[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 404916, member: 6705"] Getting the Savage magazine to work will be really tough since the older ones are stagger feed and not meant to work with the fatter cartriges. The feed lips will need to have a major overhaul. I really had a tough time getting an Edge sized case to work. I got it to work ok using it as a centerfeed with a single shot follower to keep it centered. The newer centerfeed mags might work. I would worry that once the feed lips open enough to allow the bolt to engage the rim they won't be enough angle left to keep the cartridge from popping out. As for the CDI. You might want to talk to Jeff, but it uses an AI-AW 300win magazine. I don't think it will feed the bigger brass either. [/QUOTE]
