I haven’t posted much, but need some input. I recently converted a Stevens 200 223 into a custom 22-250, Boyd’s stock, accutrigger, heavy varmint barrel’ etc. the Stevens had a stagger mag attached to receiver and all new stuff is centered attached to stock. The original 223 stager mag is smaller than 22-250 I plan to shoot, and I’m having problems finding 22-250/243/308 mag available. Are there other alternatives? gotta stay with blind magazine. Can anyone tell me the width of 243/308 stagger mag for a Stevens 200? I retro’d a centerfed mag to get by, but prefer the original stagger. Pics for reference. I’m also considering removing the 223 baffle in mag to allow for longer 22-250. Jus didn’t know if width of mag is different. Thanks in advance.

If you remove the mag spacer the 22-250 rounds should feed from the mag. That's what I did with mine and they fed pretty good.

GaCop, thanks for the feedback. Did u also go to 22-250, or another caliber? Down the road, will probably go to 243 win when I hav to rebarrel.
