I'd check some old threads on this site, but I don't believe cartridges will feed from a center feed (CF) mag box into a stagger feed (SF) action. The bottom front of the magazine inlet are different between the SF and CF action. It requires mill work to convert a SF action to a CF action. You can put a Savage CF actions into old the stagger feed blind magazine stock. You just have to fill and re-drill the front hole on SA, SF stock. The cheapest and easiest place to get only the CF magazine box and follower is to call Savage Arms Parts. If you become a paid member on this site you would also have access to the classified section. Prices are pretty cheap on take-off parts and Savage CF, top bolt released actions like the Savage 12FV (Cabela's exclusive) members part out.
