Thanks for the info on the magazine, will let SSS do this while they've got the rifle. Top loading with the Warne base means you are going to wind up with a bloody thumb. Should have taken the Dremel to it to begin with. Anyway the Warne is history, got a TPS 20 moa one piece steel base coming from Midway that should get here in a couple of days. IF it has edges over the loading port sharper than my Kershaw Knives it will go under the Dremel and get rounded off even with the magazine conversion. When I'm at the range I usually just load a single round instead of filling up the mag anyway.
