Savage 110 Barrel swap 7mm Mag to .308

I'm rebarreling my savage 110 from 7 mm Mag to .308. I've swapped out the bolt head already. Will I need to chang the magazine and follower out as well? Mine is a top loading stagger-feed magazine. If so, will I have trouble putting a short action magazine into a long action?

Im sure someone will give better details but, you should need a folower magbody spring and somthing to hold the magbody forward in the chanel were the mag is held. I would asume wood would work

Many will tell you that you "have to" change the follower, but I've never had a problem with not doing it.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to see how it works out.
Another question I had is can I swap out to a removable centerfeed magazine for a short action cartridge (.308) with my current 110 Long action that was built as a stagger-feed for 7mm Magnum?

i belive you need something like the aics mags and put a plastic plug in the back of the mag and use the short action spring and folower

I know you cant use a center feed mag on a centerfeed action
