No magazine

[bogrunner]

Hell folks. I am new to the 6 this is my first post. I was given an axis chambered in 30-06. Of course it was missing the magazine. What are my options. I've had the rifle for 2 days, and the web search was bleak.

Unfortunately they just don’t exist right now! Nobody has them. I mean Nobody! My advice is to place a back order with Optics planet below. Unknown ETA, but the good thing about is Optics Planet is a great company. The minute they have them In Stock, you will get a notice & it will be shipped. During the crazy ammo shortage my brother ordered 500rds of 223 from them, Backorder. It took a little while, but then it was shipped & he had it. Also, their price is fair. Other places charging $60, $70, $80 for a factory mag!? And still they aren’t in stock. But, this is what I would do.

Welcome to the Brotherhood. When You finally get a Magazine, You will likely have to address why You don’t currently have one. They are known to fall out on a whim. Hunting trails must be littered with them. (Maybe a slight exaggeration). Just another issue with Savages that must be considered or dealt with.

Can always do a Chassis or Bottom Metal & go AICS. I’ll never use factory magazines again on any rifle I get the rest of my life.

I have seen this option. What have you used and or recommend?

[bogrunner]

The rifle was a family members. I was given it with out a magazine and nobody knows were the original is, so I figured it's a savage. I'll just go online and get one��

[Dave Hoback]

Easiest is a Chassis. Remove the current stock from the Barreled Action, drop the whole thing in a Chassis like the MDT LSS, or Oryx for Long Action, grab a 5rd, 30-06 AICS mag… either an Accurate steel mag, or a Magpul polymer mag & be done!

Other option is using a Long Action Bottom Metal. Accurate makes probably the nicest one, but there are a couple. This is the more economical option, but will require some fitting to install on the stock.

Over the last few months i have picked up savage axis (and model 11) mags at the local gun shops, scheels and L&M Fleet supply. They are out there, you just have to look.

Sorry both are 308I lucked out and found on on eBay. Salty, but the rifle was free.

Look at the post right above yours? Good idea to read all posts in a thread before responding. Just the way I do things anyway. :tea:

[Alrashid2]

So does savage not even have these? I can't believe you can't just call and they can't grab one off the line for you...

[sabre51]

Yeah, you would think so wouldn't you? If they actually had a customer service dept, anyway...
