[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1494311, member: 12443"] I built mine on a lefty model 11 that was originally a 243. I did buy new supposedly proper magazine parts, but feeding was a big issue till I finally found somebody who could fix it. Shortly after I sold the gun. Don't believe all the good advise from experts about just bending the lips of the magazine. I was so annoyed with the whole thing I even bought another gun in a lefty version 300 WSM. But I didn't realize that gun had a large shank action, so swapping the barrel over from the model 11 wasent a possibility. Based on my own experience (and mistakes), I would strongly advise using a 300 WSM action to start with. Buy a new gun if necessary and swap the barrel. The best place for advise on Savages is the Savage shooters forum. Just remember yours wont be just a simple barrel swap bolt face change. [/QUOTE]
