I've got an older Savage 110 long action in .30-06 (I bought it new back in 2002-ish). I was looking to replace the stock on it but I've run against a lot of information saying that the older "staggerfeed" designs don't work with the newer stocks. On the other hand that seems to be related to screw spacing and from what I can tell all the long actions have maintained the same screw spacing whereas its the short-actions that have varied over the years.

So - long story short - does anyone know if I can take a take-off polymer stock from a new production LONG ACTION 110, drop my older 110 action into it (with perhaps a little inletting), and then use the newer detachable magazines?

Thanks for any assistance!
