Newbie Model 12 FV question(s)

[Stickler]

What is the difference between centerfeed and staggered feed? I am assuming my rifle is a short action? Thanx

[short round]

Stagger feed, magazine box stays with action when removed from stock, center distance of action screws 4.27". Center feed, mag stays with stock, 4.40" for action screws.

This is true but the magazine is different as well. The Center Feed magazine places each round that is going to be stripped in the middle of the magazine. With a Stagger Feed each round is alternating from side to side.
