[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 1022284, member: 6705"] All Savage RUM's were CRF with a standing ejector. The first RUMS were small shank, Savage quickly switched to large shank. Nearly all WSM's and RSAUM's are large shank. The very first few WSM's were small shank. From the beginning, WSM's and RSAUM's were CRF with the standing ejector. When Savage switched from stagger feed to centerfeed(accutrigger, accustock, and the round rear bridge also came with this change), they went to a regular push feed bolt with the plunger ejector. There was a transition period where there was a mix of these features, but these actions are not common. Current actions are center feed magazines with push feed bolts, across the board. The magazine openings are longer in the centerfeed actions as compared to an older stagger feed action. With the right magazine, it will feed nearly 4" loaded rounds. The old RUM actions are tough to find, and had a mag opening that would only allow 3.6". If you can pass on the CRF, any centerfeed long action will work for what you want. Also, you might want to also check out Accurate-Mag for bottom metal. They make the bottom metal for the factory rifles with AICS magazines. PTG also make a AICS compatible bottom metal. Both of these are made for the factory bottom metal inlet. ie.- easier to fit than the CDi that needs it's own inlet. Lastly, since you said you will be using a RUM based round, be sure to check the shoulder location. AICS magazines need to be modified to run RUM's. There is a rib in the magazine that conflicts with the RUM shoulder location. I think I got it all. Let me know if I missed any of your Savage questions. [/QUOTE]
