Savage center feed

Can some one post photos of the Savage Center feed rifle magazine?

Thank you

Here's one from a Stevens200/aka a Savage 110 without the accutrigger-same 223 in '223 knockabout' rifle post.
Loading is a bit of a PIA -small sized rounds, slither around if not centered and need a bit of an effort to align and get into the magazine.
This is a single stack -but feed flawlessly-everything from 55gr Norinco to 75 gr Hornady Amax handloads, with a COAL of 61mm IIRC.

whoops, bad pics, will redo tomorrow

Not quite sure what you mean by a Savage center feed.
You can try Savageshooters.com though

I was hoping for some more detailed photos.

I was hoping for some more detailed photos.

Not usre what additional details you want.
I have a few Savage's though only one actually has a magazine, non detachable at that. Unfortunately I dont get home until the end of the month.. 21st actually.
Let me know what you want to know and I will try and dig up the information.

additional details

Since you ask

1.Is it a double stack or single stack?

2.Does it load from the top when the magazine is in the rifle?

3.How are the feeding lips constructed? Welded on or riveted?

4.Any issues regarding feeding and if it is fixed in a wood stock due to seasonal movement of the wood?

5.Machining of the receiver from the bottom? A photo would help.

Winnie:

1. Double stack for all non magnum cartridges. I believe the Heavies are single stack.
2. In my case the Magazine is non detachable, so top feed is the only way.
3. What feeding lips? There are none discernable.
4. Should be none. I have no issues but my stock is synthetic. The closest I can compare is with the Win 70, and there are no issues.
5. In my rifle the magazine is integral and there is no bottom. Design flaw? Maybe. But I tend to Single feed since with my COAL's the cartridges wont fit in the Magazine.

Photographs? Will need to wait until the end of the month.
