Does anyone make some kind of a stripper clip for common bolt-action rifles?

Yes, I know that they don't have the bridge and/or clip guide of a battle rifle, I just mean something that serves the same function? It wouldn't necessarily look like the metal strip used in battle rifles.

I would think that it wouldn't be that hard to create, say, a polymer box like an inverted box magazine, but with cutouts on the side for your thumb, to load any old bolt action rifle quickly.

Thoughts?
 
Just get clip guides milled into the receiver. It's done all the time for Highpower bolt guns. Then use 30-06 or 308 .mil stripper clips. Doesn't work if you shoot with a scope though.
 
Some civilian bolt action rifles have detacheable box magazines. Those are great, especially if they're cheap. Usually they aren't.

Honestly that is why I don't own any "civilian" bolt action rifles, they just fail miserably in so many areas of practical application. I could care less about printing cloverleaf groups at 100 yards because I have no realistic use for that. I need something that shoots accurately enough that is also very durable, reliable, easy to work on, quick to reload and cheap to shoot.
