110 BA question...

[LongRange]

i just got off the phone with savage and i think i got the dumbest person that works there.

my question was will a 110BA 308 mag box work/fit/clip into a 110BA 300WM?

i dont think he even knew what a 110BA was...anyway now im asking if any of you guys might know the answer?

[darkker]

Well, I don't personally have experience with the BA rifles...
If they indeed run different action lengths like the rest of their stuff, then no.

that was one of the questions i ask the guy at savage..."are the 308 versions LA or SA?"....uhhh well uhhh the 300wm is a magnum...yes i under stand that but are the outer dimensions on the mag boxes the same? uhh i dont know.

i guess ill have to measure my 300 mag and find a 308 BA local and measure the 308 box.

They are not the same length, unless the 300 WM boxes are very short. If you cannot find the exact one, you can also look at the Ruger Scout magazines as I have swapped them between the Scout and a 308 BA on several occasions

i just found out the 308 BA is in fact a short action so i doubt the mags will work but im going to see if i can find one local and compare it to my 300 mag...i single feed but a mag would be nice to have.

The .308 has been on a short action since 1998. They never made the 110 BA in .308, it was a 10 BA. If you are wanting to feed .308 from a long action, try a 30-06 magazine, most of the time they work with no problems.
