Savage 111 build magazine question

[Skinnyguts]

I just ordered a new barrel in 7 PRC for my savage 111 chambered in .270 win. I know I need a new bolt face. If I’m keeping the original accustock, what do I need to do for a magazine. Will the original.270 mag work?

No the original mag will not work. The 7PRC cartridge is a lot fatter than a 270 Win, so it won't feed correctly. You will need to get a magazine that will feed that size cartridge. Most likely belted mag magazine as the mags for a 6.5PRC will be too short and a 300 PRC mag will be too long.
