Has Savage converted it's .223 12FV's and 10FP's to single stack centre feed yet?

[CanuckShooter]

I know that the .223's don't come in the detachable box yet, but anyoje on here have either a Savage 12FV or Savage 10FP in .223 that uses the new single stack, centre feed magazines?

Thanks!

I will ask my contacts at the factory.

That would be awesome, and much appreciated!

Thanks!

He says "I heard the pilot lot had issues. I do not believe it is in production at this time. "

Hope this helps.

What is it with recent manufacture Savage bolt actions?
More than twice, I have heard owners complain about crappy magazine springs, or just crappy feeding issues, with thier repeating shots.
Seems they really have a QA problem.

Thanks very much for the update Ganderite!

Hey Ganderite,

Do you know if all of the 10FP's and 12FV's in .308 have been converted to the single stack, centre feed internal magazine? I didn't expect that the .223's had been all switched over yet, but the .308's were starting to show up with this feature a year or so ago. Any idea?

I have not been involved with the Savage development program for ten years or so. I no longer even know what the various model numbers mean. I cannot answer your question and don't want to burn out my contacts with such questions. I am sure you can understand that.

I do have 2008 production 10FP, action screws are 4.4" apart, learned that after I picked up my B&C stock which is made for 4.25" actions
