1. Measure your action screw spacing (center to center)
2. look for your action specs on the Boyds site (Ex: 111 right hand bolt, top or bottom bolt release, and in your case look for DBM)
I swapped out the synthetic stock on my 111 for the Pro Varmint... I had to acquire the "Bottom metal for wood stocks" from Savage directly, as well as the magazine bottom... $150.00 or so
Your existing blind mag should work, once you've clipped the new bottom on your magazine.
