I just saw a used model 11 in 243 win with side mag release, accu-trigger and iron sights. I have never seen this before and was wondering if it's good to go?

You might be able to find a stock at Numrichs.
Otherwise, if you want a stock, you can always convert to a blind staggerfeed magazine. Do a search on the forum, a number of folks have done it and it is apparently not too difficult.

Changing to a blind mag is easy. Just pop off your DBM housing, pop on a staggered feed mag box and follower.
Install in stock of your choice and your good to go.
Going the other way is the hard part. Staggered feed DBM actions have 2 slots machined on the outside of the action to fit the DBM housing into.

Let me clarify, I have done the conversion( I don't like dbm's) and it is as easy as thirty06 said.What I meant is nobody but Savage makes a direct drop in stock. What Numrich has are left over Savage stocks. Maybe a custom stock maker will do it $$$, or if you are good with a dremmel you can refit the dbm to another.
