Maybe a silly question but plan to order a single shot follower.... it has a 22-250 / 308 blind mag stag feed in now. Do I order the 308 follower or the 223? Assuming the 223 is shorter to fit the mag of the 223 so I should order the 308.... correct?
I don't think either follower will work for that. I think the lips on the mag box are different. Might need a s/f 223 box and follower/single shot follower for it to work properly.
Definitely need more help from someone else like Fred (sharpshooter).
Foxx,
thanks for the info..... unfortunately the 223 box is **** near impossible to find or id just make it a repeater. have the 223 follower just not the box..... figured id go this route until I find the box.
Is your rifle center feed or staggered feed? Centerfeed doesn't matter as it fits right into the action opening and you remove the magazine/follower from the stock. Staggered feed single-shot followers from Score Hi go into the magazine on top of the follower. According to their website they have specific ones for different magazine sizes. So if you have a .308 magazine currently you'd want the medium Score Hi follower.
His OP says it is Stagger feed 308 but wants to change to .223 . Are you saying he uses whatever the existing mag requires, even if he wants to feed 223's?Quote:

I put a 223 barrel on an action last week, mounted it in my McCree chassis. Don't have any 223 mags yet but it single fed just fine with a short action AI mag in place. Drop it in and push the bolt forward.
