Brand spanking new XRS chassis came in today-- I ordered it in Savage CIP 3.850 thinking it would suffice for the 7mm STW (assuming I could fuss with the feed lips to get it to work, normally the AICS 338 LM magazines won't work with the big belted cases). I also ordered an AICS CIP 3.850 from Mile High--which for some reason won't fit in the XRS chassis. Fortunately the magazine from my 338 LM savage 110 does fit--but I only have one and I don't want to alter it. The chassis is otherwise very well made and has a nice wide arca-ready foreend and other adjustable goodies. Going to have to solve the magazine mystery.
Upon closer inspection the savage magazine has a ramp on the tail of the follower--the one made by AI does not. That's stopping the bolt on the MDT XRS--but the magazine itself just won't fit in the well. Oddly enough, it does fit the well of the 110 338 LM.
