The mag feed issues are what cooled my jets on the savage in 6.5 gr/6Arc... for the life of me I couldn't get it to feed.
If Savage would do something with the bolt travel (like a longer head-follower-whatever you call that piece behind the bolt head) and shorten up the mag feed distance, tweak the feed lips for a better mag then I could maybe see doing one. I like savages, have a few in my stable but these ones I just couldn't get them to go.
I believe AICS has a 6.5 mag-type, through MDT or somebody, if you had bottom metal for one of those then maybe they would work, I don't know haven't tried it. But I read about it somewhere.
