Darn Spud, you beat me to it !

1. Don't know anything about the Magnum, but the Rampage is a solid performer. One of my faves. Magnum looks like a 40 shot StrongArm (with a brace no less) so lets assume it's a little front heavy.

2. Orange Mod Works and the  Containment Crew are the go-to places for springs. There is no performance guarantee from either of these companies, but from my own experience, 50 feet is definitely achievable. That OMW spring is 8+KG. Yowza !

3. Yes, you can take the spring out of the old Snipe and double up the new Snipe. That'll give it some kick. As for the bolt handle, it's already got a metal pin connecting the bolt and the handle. But beyond filling the hollow spots in the handle with epoxy or JB Weld, you'd be taking your chances. Anyway, if you salvage the handle too, you'll have a spare.
