I have a 112 competition (single shot 308) that I like very much, but I would like to try a PRS match, and I think that I need a detachable magazine for that. I suppose I could just trade for a rifle that is already set up for a removable magazine which I will if or there is some reason can't do this conversion, but the appeal of having a unique rifle especially one that I built myself does have a lot of appeal.

It seems like it might be a fairly straightforward task to cut a hole in the stock and then trim to fit the bottom metal. Do I have to do anything special with the action to make this work, and does anyone have any suggestions or tips on which bottom metal might be better or worse for this?
