Hi all, I actually joined before purchasing my rifle. I've known the Savage name since I was about 10yrs old (yeh that was some time ago). My grandfather had a .22 / .410 over / under he would hunt with. I always thought that was a cool gun. My father has it now and someday, I assume it will be mine. Anyway.... my question.
I purchased a model 16fcss in .308 Win. It has the spring loaded lever inletted into the bottom of the stock. I skipped the hunter package because the one they showed me seemed to have been fitted for the Axis style mag. I wanted the release to be in the stock / receiver rather than a plastic tab.
The prescribed mag seems to be out of stock at Savage but it seems to me that any model mag should fit (assuming for instance that the model 14 was chambered for .308). Is this assumption correct? Perhaps it wouldn't have the stainless bottom metal but shouldn't it still fit?
Also, after looking at the box more closely, it sure seems like someone would be making a higher capacity mag for this. With the catch and the release cut being on the side of the box it looks like it might be fairly easy to extend a mag box. Anything available out there? Thanks!!
