I have the opportunity to purchase a Savage 111 for $275. I feel like this is a great deal, but I'm not sure it will do what I want it to do for me, so that's why I come to you gentlemen. About the rifle:

-It's chambered in .270
-Has side-button magazine release synthetic stock with mag
-Comes with scope base

Here are some pictures lifted from the ad:

Now, all I really want to do to this rifle is rebuild it into a .308 as I'm already set up to reload for that caliber. I also want to replace the stock, but I have some concerns about the detachable magazine feature. Whether or not I'm still able to use a detachable magazine doesn't matter to me, I just need a better stock than the one it comes with from the factory. Will I be able to use a blind magazine with the 111 receiver?

Any information is greatly appreciated.
