Older Savage 6.5 X 308 barreled action 4.52"

I recently came across a 6.5 X 308 Savage barreled action with 24 " Bliss Titus blued sporter barrel. It came with RCBS dies and blind magazine box and follower. I assumed it was 4.4" hole spacing (bad assumption on my part) so purchased a accu-fit stock and detachable magazine (also picked up a FDE model 16 light weight hunter stock set up for factory detachable magazine for a great price and barrel channel that matches up well). Well when I went to install in stock, I of course found out that the action screws do not line up. My question is should I go with a 4.52" blind mag stock ( found some from Richards that I know, will require a lot of fitting and finishing, which I am ok with) or should I go with the 16 stock, I am pretty sure than I can make the 16 stock work with some alterations. My question with that is will a center fed magazine fed for this action or will I need to stick with the factory staggered feed? Thanks in advance for any advise to help me salvage the mess that I got myself in!

The feed is based on the stock, not the action. So go with whatever you think is the wiser choice.

damn it man.

Thanks for the info, think I will go with the 16 lightweight retro fit ( blued barreled action looks really good in it and makes a nice lightweight set up). Just need to order the parts I need from Savage and sell the accu-fit stock, then I will have a neat little caliper/set up to play with!
