I have a Savage target action with box mag that I am thinking about putting in a benchrest stock. Do they make something to convert the box mag to single feed? Maybe an insert that replaces the follower?

Never mind it looks like the Fredsled is what I am after. I guess the next question is if I go with the metal Fredsled will I have to modify the stock at all to fit?
No, for either the magazine type or the loading ramp. They just fit right in.Quote:

You could also go with single shot follower/adaptor. Fred has those too. Fits in the bottom of the action and no mag needed.
Plug the mag well with whatever and you have a single shot.
Just because SSS can be a little difficult to deal with has anyone tried one of these single shot adapters? Reading the description it looks like the same thing? https://www.eabco.net/Bench-Rest-Mag...r_p_13407.html
But look closely at Savage and you will see those do not work with center feed box magazines.Quote:

Got one on an early model and they work fine. Pull the action out of the stock, pull the spring/follower, place that SS follower in the mag, reinstall the OEM spring/follower and put it back together. Instant single shot!
Center feed is a different animal.
Description says...SSS or fabricate something to work. Which specific target action are you working with?Quote:
These followers will not work with center feed magazine boxes.
