I have been looking for a action to start the basis of a new cast boolit match rifle and the savage short action is on my mind for this .Problem is its only a 4 rd capacity atleast thats what their website states,Is there a way to (without spending more than the gun) alter it so it will hold 5 308 rds.? The action would most likely be installed in a aftermarket stock if that makes a difference in any way.

Thanks,Tim

If you were to buy one of the newer centerfeed detachable mag rifles, you could get a 9 round mag offered by Sharp Shooter Supply

Thanks Ive seen those,I was planning on getting a used older blind mag action I was planning on feeding it from chargers with a guide installed.If I took away some wood from the bottom of the mag well on the new stock if theres enough wood there, would it be possible to use the same spring????

I know it's been done as I recall seeing pics somewhere. Unfortunately, I have no idea where I saw them or how long it's been.

If you really need the info or want someone who can do it, get with Fred Moreo at Sharp Shooter Supply.

sorry for the delayed response - have had the stinkin' flu!!!
