Your planned project is doable. You may end up putting a block in the 270 mag in order to get it to feed the 308. Then again, it may feed just like it is. Try some 308 rounds to see how they work. I don't know if a 308 mag will fit the floorplate of your current magazine but Fred at Sharp Shooter supply can advise on that. I converted a 30-06 to shoot 260 Remington and had no feed problems (staggerfeed action). Your stock options for the side mag release model is pretty slim (if any) A conversion over to a blind mag stock (centerfeed) may be your best bet. I'm sure others more knowledgeable about the old side button Savage will chime in.
