types of cf sa magazine boxes

[cqh1111]

How many different types of short action center feed magazine boxes are there? I bought a used magazine box that does not look like the 308 or the wsm magazine boxes that I have. Is this for a 22-250? Or something else? The rear sides of the lips are longer than the 308 and the lips are more narrow than the 308 and not as wide as the wsm.

Maybe .223 Rem/ .204 Ruger ?

For SA there are mags for:

WSM
22-250/308 family
223 family
6BR

To my knowledge that is all there is.

Here is a photo. I took the followers out. The 308 follower and the unknown follower look the same. Both followers have "std" stamped on them. The 308 and wsm have "std short" and "wsm" stamped on the mag box but the unknown one does not have anything.

FYI : 22-250 (and 250 Sav) mags are not the same as 308 ; they have a little bit longer lip and have flairs to the outside on the front of the lips.
The 22-250 box works fine for me with 308 case but not so much the other way around.

I bet the middle picture one is a22-250 mag the lips are like a1/4" longer.

Could be ; maybe the photo does not show the flairs on the lips clearly because of the angle of the photo.

Hmmm. My 12FV in 22-250 and 12FV in 308 both have the same box with "std short" on the outside same as his 308 above. Perhaps my 22-250 got the wrong mag at the factory, or maybe since mine are both 2006 models perhaps they started using a special 22-250 mag at a later point? Either way that sounds like a logical possibility. Sorry for the mis-information above, but in my 2 they are the same.

Here are a couple better photos (I think) of the 308 and unknown magazine boxes. The 308 is on the left and it does have shorter lips. The unknown one has the flares on the lips and the lips are a bit longer suggesting that it is for a 22-250/250 savage as noted above by multitoes. I guess that if the 22-250 magazine box works with the 308 then I will give it a try. Thanks for the help with identifying it.

Could this just be a revised/design change of the same part ?

My 308 mag says "STD SHORT" on it and there is no marking on my 22-250 mag.

Ah yes, the side photo shows the flair I was referring to ; bear in mind my experience goes back maybe 3 yrs. at most when I got my 250 Sav. ; my later 22-250 had the same mag box.
