    Alternate Magazines -

    Magpul makes a pretty good unit - Magpul PMAG AC Magazine AICS Short Action 308 Winchester Polymer Black - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/15...-polymer-black
    Midway sells for around 37 bucks. There are 2 models, above works and not had any issues. I am looking to see what Accurate Mag will fit as I have those on 300WM and 338 Lapua and they are excellent but pricey.

    I use the 5 round Magpul AICS mags for my 10T Creedmoor with a cadex chassis. Work fine. Didn't have 10 round ones when I was looking so may get one. Thanks for posting.

    Quick update.
    Primary scope is still in shop, so slowed me down shooting. Due to go to Talladega the 23rd Dec. Not sure if I will make it.

    The secondary scope cannot handle the 338 Lapua, recoil is making it go out of focus each shot.


    The waiting is the worst part, check daily to see when they will ship scope back. Been 3 weeks, but in fairness, first 4 days were Thanksgiving, so really only on 2 weeks and 4 days.

    Hello guys.
    I am new here and for Savage in general.
    I just bought 10BA Stealth on past Monday and in CA, will see/touch/work on hardware only in 10 days. Unfortunately didn't see this thread before I made purchase and didn't measured barrel length in LGS. Now I am wondering, if they still ship barrel 22"? Does anybody have idea about it? I called CS, give them my S/N (the only thing I know about my rifle LOL) and they have no way to determinate what barrel is there. I have S/N K46908X. Whoever bought with 24" barrel originally, can tell me please, if his/her S/N higher or lower then mine?

    Regards.

    Honestly, had 22" on mine, sent back and Savage put 24" on. Both shot .5 moa or less (I reload your results may depend on ammo). I prefer the 24", mainly because I asked them not to flute it. Would not have a problem getting a 22". I think based on what I read your losing maybe 100 fps.

    Just my opinion, from what I have heard your most likely going to get the 22".

    Palmaris,
    Your's should have a 24 inch barrel. My serial starts with K434 and it has a 24.

    Good News \ Bad News


    Good - Primary Scope just came in from repair (31 days including shipping both ways and Thanksgiving & Christmas), mounted it, hopefully go to range next Monday to sight back in.


    Bad - Suppressor tax stamp arrived. Bummer - has wrong thread size, need 5/8 - 24 tpi, can't find one in stock.

    Dealer got me a muzzle break for Suppressor (acts as mount for suppressor). 7.62 5/8" 24 tpi. Will work for 6.5 and 300 WM. So some progress.

    Great info guys.

    Does anyone know the buffer tube size?

    I have a com spec carbine stock which barely will slide on if force is applied. Makes me think the buffer tube is irregular.

    It is some weird size. Even on the description of rifle, it stated some like it will accept any Mil-Spec or commercial sizes stocks.

    I went to range today to break-in rifle. And developed problem which I will need to sort out. To clean bore I was needed to remove cheek rest or remove stock. I guess I will need to buy folding adapter for stock. Otherwise everything went smooth. Shot 1 round, clean bore with solvent, patches, brush, patches, oil. Repeated 10 rounds, Then the same with 5 groups of 3 rds, then 3 groups of 5 rounds, then run out of ammo. Still pending 2 more groups of 5 rds. Did some sighting, but because it was rain and there was no way to go out to put targets, just brought to 5" gong. Next visit hopefully it will be good weather and I can sight scope with target.

    Thank you very much Sir.
    It is made by Royal Arms and it is on sale now for $39 ( http://www.royalarms.com/shop/ar-1516-grip/ ). It does require some easy do fitting. Grip is designed for AR platform and it goes over trigger guard. For our trigger guard it needs to shave front portion of the grip. Takes about 20 minutes with file.

    After fitting

    Will have to look into that grip. Friggin sweet. My Cadex chassis takes an AR pistol grip so hope it will fit. Can always put it on my AR10 too. Thanks for posting.
    Just ordered it. Have to quit looking at this stuff!

    Buffer tube on my rifle is larger than commercial spec. I called Savage and they asked me to ship it back. I went ahead and put another commercial spec buffer tube on and now my new magpul stock with cheek riser fits perfectly over the tube.
