Reply With QuoteI have two WSM's on long actions. One is stagger feed the other centerfeed. Both of them feed well. No bending, tweaking, or anything to get them to feed perfectly.
Has anyone built a 300WSM on a Long Action? Or, any of the other WSMs' on a long action?
I have a 116FHSS on order and, before I buy another short action, I wondered if you could get a .300WSM to feed from the magazine in a long action.
I know you can do a small shank barrel in WSM, but I don't know if there are any savage magazines that would allow the WSM to feed in a long action.
I don't want to stuff the magazine, just want a backup round or two in the magazine that would feed reliably.
Also, I just found out from a previous post, that my 16FSS 300WSM, has a mechanical ejector that operates through a slit in the bolt face. (Don't know how I didn't notice that before?) So I'd rather have a magnum bolt face with an ejector pin and spring.
Any suggestions are appreciated... may save me from buying another short action. :-\

I put a 270 wsm barrel on a 7 mag savage action it worked great no problems.
