If you currently have the Savage DBM metal frame assembly, I would just order a Savage 10-round magazine from DarkEagle Custom http://www.darkeaglecustom.com/magazines.php.
I have a few rifles I've built on Savage actions, three on short actions and one on a LA. All have DBM's. I would like to take the .308, which is built on a manners stock, and replace the factory DBM with a 10 round magazine. I understand there are several different types of bottom metal I can choose from: CDI, PT&G, and AICS if I understand it correctly. This action has the latest receiver screw spacing - if I remember correctly - 4.4" I believe. It is also not a large shank barrel but rather a Shilen Varmint contour.
So, my questions are several.
1) what are the advantages / disadvantages of each?
2) what do the majority of people recommend - and why?
3) if I need inletting - who does it?
Any other information you can give me would be appreciated.
Thank you....

DarkEagle Custom Savage 10-rd mags use the standard Savage OEM mag box fitted to a custom made metal bottom, spring and follower. So the SA mag length is 3.0".

The 3.00" is the internal mag length measurement.
Thanks guys. I'll be contacting DE tomorrow and ordering a couple of 10 round mags, and yes, they're all built on a savage DBM receiver.
Stay well people....
Dang. I though AI mags were expensive.
