[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 606071, member: 12443"] this is interesting for me. about 2 years ago i aquired a model 11 in 243. i took it to a (gunsmith)? and had a new barrel installed in 6.5. i decided i wanted to use the 270 short mag case. i bought a new bolt head and magazine parts for the short mag. i wanted to keep the magazine as it would be a carrying type hunting rifle. the long and short of it is the magazine never worked. the gunsmith couldnt fix it and finaly just gave up on it. i got some advice on savage shooters about tuning the lips. no luck on that either. i got lots of advice period. i asked who i could send it to and no responce. even from the savage guru. so if your intending on using the magazine be prepared for some problems. hopefully the 260 would be a better choice for you.
