I have an older 110 with a blind mag arrangement. It started life as a 223. It has now been resurected as a 260 rem. I kept the 223 blind mag and follower and installed a single shot follower.
Lately I have wanted to be able to place multiple rounds in the mag, so I ordered a 30-06 blind mag and follower. I figured since it was a long action this would be the right choice. Well, it wasn't. The 30-06 blind mag is too long to fit into the space for the mag box.
What should I have gotten? 308? FYI, the distance between the action screw holes is 5.025" (I think! its tough for me to get it exact, but it definately just over 5")
