Default Removable Magazine?

Anyone know of of a removable magazine available for a Weatherby Vanguard 22-250? I was out dog hunting last weekend and absolutely hate the bottom, swing door design. Rifle shoots great, but loading from the top is a PIA with my big fingers and scope in the way.

Hearing about it, doing it, still doesn't mean it's a PIA, doesn't conform to nearly every other rifle that I own, and doesn't help with locating what I was asking for.

I asked a question to get some true info if anyone had any. If not, fine. If nothing is available, no problem.

I didn't ask for stupid answers or remarks.

Sorry to say I dont think there are any readily available clip conversions for the Weatherby/ Howa rifles.
If it is any help, follow the upside down idea.

Now, having not needed the services of any gunsmiths in a really long time, are there any around Edmonton that would be up to the task to making one, or would the cost exceed the price of the rifle?
