Hello All,

I have a Savage 11 Hog Hunter in .308 wearing a Bell&Carlson Medalist stock that I would like to convert to an external DBM style magazine over the factory blind one. I have done some research on the subject and I know the work it will take as far as inletting and things like that. I want to make sure I end up with the correct parts to do the job. I would like to use factory Savage parts since it seems cheaper and easier to do rather than an aftermarket kit for $200+. My question is what factory Savage rifle comes with an external magazine that would be compatible with my Hog Hunter? I am guessing any short action in .308 but I wanted to confirm with others. Also, savage requires me to have the serial number for that rifle in order to purchase the parts online. Anyone know a way around this?

Thank you in advance for the help.
