You can just buy a Magnum mag box.
I'm looking to convert a .308 family member to 300 WSM. It will have an internal box/blind mag. What mods will I need to do to the feed lips etc to make this happen?

Thisll be a one way modification and if not done well you have a single shot. I dont shy from many projects but I would this one. Maybe you want another rifle?
Maybe I need to bite the bullet and buy the more expensive donor rifle. I'm not sure they still make a 300 WSM in a non-accutrigger model though.

All you will need to do is swap the bolt head and mag box out. If a WSM mag box is unavailable, buy a 308 box and tweak it to work. Then just swap back as needed.
Mag boxes are typically less than $15. . . I think most can experiment with a mag box for that price.
Some may have modified boxes as you described, and could give you more technical data on this.
Do you have the bolt head part figured out?
There are SA magnum push feed bolt heads available, but they use a longer firing pin, so that swap may also be required.
Others have modified a LA magnum head to work with the SA, and I believe this does not require a longer firing pin.
Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Well stated Adam!Cowboyarcher has it right.
Thanks; I knew I would need to swap the bolt head but had not looked into exactly what to get yet.Originally Posted by cowboyarcher
So are the feel lips attached to the mag box then? The only Savage I currently have is a DBM so it's not informative for me.
this broaches on a subject I have wondered about, did Savage vary the Magazine hole in the action by caliber, or cut them all pretty well the same size? what about long action vs short action?Originally Posted by cowboyarcher
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience
I can't imagine it is not different by action length (L vs S).Originally Posted by sha-ul
they made different mags to fit in a group case size. .308, .30-06, 7mm rem mag, 300 ultra, 300wsm....
then they bend them to fit the assorted dia. of bullets. .204s touch the ramp different then .416s
