6br repeater on Savage SA?

[gemmellsc]

I have a Savage SA, blind magazine, staggered feed action w/ .473 boltface. I tried to search on the 'Bryant Conversion' but couldn't find anything. I'm assuming it's something to do with converting the magazine. Can some one fill me in on what issue I might run into, or if this is a lost cause. I would be using Berger 105vlds and some 95-100gr hunting bullets. I'm only looking to get 2 or 3 in the magazine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Bill

Bill, I'm not sure who is having any success with getting the stagger feed magazines to feed the 6br, but I just built a 6br sporter based on a Savage SA, DBM varmint action that feeds like a dream. I had previously read all the negative reports on feeding the 6br from existing/modified stagger feed actions and decided getting one to work well wasn't worth the effort.

Thanks for the information and the search tip. I don't know this is going to work on a Savage action, because I don't think there is a block installed in a .223 magazine. My father has a Savage SA in .223 so I will investigate further and report back. I get the concept now, and will try to see what I can come up with.

Thanks again,
Bill

Freestate101,

Is your SA a staggered feed or centerfeed?

Centerfeed DBM, works slick as snot!

savage sells a lrpv in 6br repeater, so all you should have to do is use that mag w/ a centerfeed action....

I have a .223 DBM, it has a spacer. What cartridge are you guys using that works with no problems? A lightweight sporter 6br would be awesome with my American Classic.

One possible gotcha,don't know for sure) is that the LRPV repeater in 6mmBR only comes with a 1-12' twist for light,and usually shorter) bullets. Whether there would be enough room in the mag for longer bullets like a 105-107 to feed okay would be an interesting question...

all you should have to do is remove the spacer in the magazine and a .308 catridge would feed just fine.
