Can I use a Savage/Stevens blind magazine .223 for my .300 Whisper conversion?

[libertyman777]

I've been reading some and it seems that the .223 action is good to go but what about the blind magazine option? It's a .223 mag box and follower so it should be okay, right?


Thanks,

Paul

Yes built two on those actions with the blind mags and feeding and function were 100% with no tweaking necessary. They started life as .223 Savage Rifles. If you are looking for a barrel hunt down Spook on this board, he did one of the barrels I used and it was outstanding in fit, finish and accuracy.

Thanks DonT. That's what I needed to hear.

Here is a link I post with a pic to one of my builds and groups I was getting.

Dude, that is very cool. I can't wait to get mine going. So many projects, so little time.

That is such an understatement! LOL

The 300-221 is responsible for me spending a lot of time and money building a metal shop because I was too cheap to purchase a commercial can. So I want to build one on a Form-1.

Well the thing with Form-1 cans is they are a lot like potato chips. You can't have just one.

And when you get tools, there are those other things you want to do with them. Like I want to build a floating camera mount for my motorcycle.

It's a never ending ride.
