Savage hog hunter .308 dbm

[Ed12589]

I just picked up a Hog Hunter chambered in .308. I'm pretty excited about the rifle but I'm a little disappointed in the blind mag. I plan on ordering a Choate tactical stock that is set up for the DBM and converting the gun. I would like to do the work myself but this is the first rifle I've owned that has the blind mag so I have never dealt with anything quite like it before. I was hoping someone could recommend a good priced DBM to start with and then a little info on what the conversion consists of. Thanks in advance for your replies.

The 308 magazine for this rifle is 55105, but here are the parts required to assemble one yourself:

Steel frame DBM 308 mag box: https://store.savagearms.com/mag-box-short-std-nfs.html
Steel frame DBM 308 mag follower: https://store.savagearms.com/review/.../list/id/4376/
Steel frame DBM steel magazine bottom: https://store.savagearms.com/mag-bot...matte-dbm.html

You can simply purchase the steel magazine bottom and install that on the mag well/follower that came with your rifle.

I don't think I could have asked for a better answer than that. Thanks a lot for the help.
