Both have the advantages. The staggered feed has more aftermarket stocks available. The center feed is easier to change out for different calibers, and it is a cheap and easy way to get a detachable magazine. It also feeds caliber that the staggered feed will not like 6br. Many people complain that the center feed is harder to load. Savage released the center feed magazine to fix the reported feed problems with the stagged feed magazine.

Is there any difference between the two when it comes to changing barrels? Is that might be what you meant when you referred to changing calibers. HAve never owned savage until this year(bought a 10fp .223), and trying to learn from those who have hands on knowledge.
