Boyd’s gives a choice of blind magazine staggered feed or blind magazine centered feed. How do I tell?? I want to buy something that doesn’t need any fitting. It’s a very accurate gun. I don’t want to mess it up. The old wooden stock is ugly, heavy and feels like a block of wood.

If Boyds doesnt have the info listed go to Bell and Carlson site and look up the sporter stock for savages and they have the info listed for measurements there. If you are looking for performance and not beauty out of the stock check out the Bell and Carlson models. Put one on mine last year and love it.

My savage is center feed I think (the bullet is centered in the mag well) I'm assuming in a staggered feed, the bullet will be to one side of the mag Last edited by Reno; 02/11/18 07:28 PM. Roads?

As an FYI, the stock may need some minor fitting even if you order the correct one.
