Sorry I havent seen a thread on this
I just bought a Savage 10 FCP-SR in 6.5 Creedmoor .... it has a 10 round magazine
At the range yesterday I had all kinds of problems getting the magazine to seat properly .... and when it was inserted ... I had multiple occasions where the bolt would not pick up a round
Has anyone had this?
Call Savage for a replacement?
Will any other magazines work in this gun ... a 5 round mag from a 6.5 Axis?
Something I noticed watching a youtube vid, don't remember whose, but you have to latch the back of the mag then the front. I have heard a decent amount of people complaining about problems with the factory mag though. I haven't had a chance to shoot mine yet but the mag locks up nice and tight.
Yes it is a common problem. The axis style mag works flawlessly. The ten round mag has to be seated perfectly. It's not that big of a deal once you get used to it, but it definitely felt wrong when I was first using it. I swapped to a axis mag and really haven't shot the 10 round mag much since.
Perfect ... thanks
Did you get the mag from Savage or somewhere else?
All I need to get would be a 6.5 Axis Mag? I just want to make sure I ask for the right thing ; )
Not sure what the Axis mag will cost but I got the 10 round mag I ordered from Darkeagle Customs yesterday and it works great. $105 shipped but it's all metal and functions like the factory mag should. It also holds a true 10 rounds.

I bought mine on Ebay. I believe it is 55105. I found it in my purchase history, but I can't open it to check.
I paid $36 for mine.
Like the others said... The Savage 10-round mags stink.
