Mine is also a single shot. I have played with getting a 700 magazine to feed with reliability and the results haven't been real consistent. Converting to a detachable setup with a magazine designed for the BR case would be the route I would pursue if the obsession strikes again.

A friend used a well used Remington 742 chambered for 308 to wild cat a Cheetah 2 with very good results. He how ever is not happy with hunting his cases after the shot so has developed a catcher. Since he/we mostly hunt coyotes where we may get more than two shots it works fine. He has less money in it than if he had bought a AR.

I have a savage 110 in 243, and was thinking along the same lines. Does a savage 22-250 have it's own follower and a block in the back of the mag well?
I was always going to make an adapter for a 7.62x39 mini 30 magazine to 700 , but have just never finished the project. Thing is with the 6BR there is no excuse to miss with the first shot!

And that is precisely the point and why I love my 6mm PPC. The PPC and the BR are so darned accurate you won't miss many first shots~!

6mm PPC is not as much talked about today a it was some years back. What would you think about a a tight neck 6PPC in a light weight sporter configuration built on an XP100 single shot action with very light Timney trigger and a gain-twist barrel throwing a 62.5 grain Watson into one very tight hole at 100 yards~? Build by an extremely reputable builder, James Hare, in the mid '80s~! It's the most accurate rifle I've ever seen and I've seen quite a few pretty accurate fireqrms.
