Anschutz 1727 magazine basepads

I figured I was using the mag internals anyway, and if I could get the Savage mag to work when not have a cheap alternative.
For sure. I picked up the Savage mag for under $20 but $85 for the Annie mag.
when you look at the two bodys they do seem very close but IIRC, it took a lot of careful filing and fitting to get the Savage mag to fit.

What is the ideal SHTF optic?

Get something that can do double duty. Something that looks innocuous if seen. Get a standard issue (for long range stuff) pencil barrel hunting rifle, and put a fixed, steel tubed weaver on that bitch. Get it zeroed at your preferred distance, and learn your holdovers in your head. Bury ammo stashes and fill out an 'under' report (cache) and be done.
That way, "its my dads hunting rifle; it's been in this house for 50 years." So in case some martial law motherfuckers start goin door to door looking for tactical shit or pullin 4473s red dawn style, you dont stand out like a bulldogs ballsack. Use basic, proven stuff. Not standing out in public, or under an inspection, should always be a key consideration.
I'd much rather have my sbr with nv capable and thermal kit.

Savage 99 or CZ spring and follower?
The followers have to be trimmed. There is a YT on it that shows how but I didn't find it very helpful.
The Anschutz magazine has an indention on either side at the top rear. you will need to trim the follower so it can come all the way up on the mag body.
I tried to modify a Savage MK2 magazine to fit in the Anschutz. The modification of using the savage internals in the Anschutz works like a charm after you modify the follower.

Tried this and couldn’t get it to work. What magic do I need to do?

Look closely and you can see the trim lines in the pic below.

Looks like an old garden variety Tea bagging to me.

Side note: My old dog did that to one of my old girlfriends once. I don't know which pissed her off worse; the dog doing it or my laughing.

Pretty pointless.

As Katrina showed, the Uniform hangers will beat up and break arms on old ladies in their hurry to grab an old revolver quicker.

When they start coming it's time to use them or hope to stay alive in the concentration camp.
It's really no different than most typical civilians do. They use what they have at hand. You should already have a standard hunting rifle laying around already anyhow. I never advocated for anything extreme. A plain rifle will do.
