I just picked up a 7mm Mag in a 116, and was wondering it the longer 7 STW will work in the Savage action.

I just picked up a 7mm Mag in a 116, and was wondering it the longer 7 STW will work in the Savage action.
I am curious to know what a 7STW can do that a 7mm mag can't?
Sorry I don't have an answer to your original question. :)
The STW will work, but you may not be able to use it as a repeater. Is your rifle stagger or center feed?
The STW can do everything the 7mm mag can, but faster.Quote:

The stagger feed is going to limit your mag box length.
Numrich has 7mm STW savage barrels for like $70.00.
Back in the late 90's I had a LH Tactical rechambered from 7mm mag to 7 STW. The gunsmith ground back the bolt stop and spliced two magazine boxes together and I am able to use it as a repeater. No big surprise it is an incredible shooter. I recorded my best all time 100 yd group with it, three shots into 0.14". It routinely shoots under half inch.
