Can't find any extra magazines for my Savage rifle!

I just purchased my Savage Arms 111 Trophy Hunter XP rifle in 30-06 recently. I'm getting the new additions to it and one of them is an extra magazine or two at this point. Here's my problem. I can't seem to find it anywhere! Tried the local gun shops first, on-line at Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Palmetto State Armory, Midway USA, Savage's website and they all seem to be for the Savage axis rifle only. I believe the magazine is $50.00 give or take. And also has a lock in clip on the front end of the magazine to lock it in place into the rifle. Anyone know where I can find one on-line or locally in stock???? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

The one that I found on Cabela's in the link I posted above I think is the correct one. My friend thought the same as you and figured that magazine you shared with me was the correct one for the firearm. Found out that this I believe is from the older model of the 111. The newer model has a lock clip so to say to lock the magazine in place. I'll keep everyone posted and up to date for the purchase if anyone else has issues in the future with buying additional magazines. And thank you for the help and response to my thread as well!!

With the help of my friend, a fellow firearm owner, who I'm also trying to get to join here with us if he didn't already. The 2 of us have been going back and forth for a little while to figure out why I apparently can't find any spare magazines. On the Savage Arms website, there's a part finder section. You need to put the serial # for your firearm. From that point, it pulls up all the info for any parts of your firearm and tells you when it was manufactured, which I thought was pretty cool. Now down to the details....apparently with Savage, for this rifle at least, it shows that the magazines are for the Axis. But in turn, seem to be for the 111 Trophy Hunter XP as well. Their trick is the magazines can be used with multiple calibers. As mine is used for the 25-06, .270, as well as the 30-06 springfield. So I think I found the proper magazines. And only one way to find out is buy it on-line and wait for it to arrive and see if it fits properly into the firearm. There is a review from someone who has the same firearm as I have and said it fits. Yes, it's the internet and you can't believe everything you see on it, but hopefully this will be a good fit. Here's the link from Cabela's website: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Firearm-Components/Magazines-Clips%7C/pc/104792580/c/104717880/sc/104442480/Savage174-Arms-Axis-Magazines/1394711.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fmagazines-clips%2Fsavage-arms%2F_%2FN-1100238%2B1000004563%2FNe-1000004563%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104442480%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104792580%26WTz_st%3DGuidedNav%26WTz_stype%3DGNU&WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104792580%3Bcat104442480#BVQAWidgetID
