Go with a newer Savage action with the new-style center feed magazines if you want to go the AI route. The old staggered feed mags get a little finicky when it comes to feeding AI cartridges, but the new center feed mag's are dead nuts reliable with them. All that's left to decide is whether you want a blind mag, detachable mag, or hinged floorplate.



As long as there's still lead in the air, there's still hope!
