Hey everyone! So I've been doing some research, and think I generally understand things, but want to double check before I "pull the trigger" (pun absolutely intended) on buying stuff.

I'm considering getting an 11 Trophy Hunter XP in .308, and have been looking at the replacement stock options... I've been thinking I'd go with the Choate tactical, but I don't think it fits the DBM on the THXP. Choate said their stock is built for the mag release clip being on the stock, however Savage (and the Savage 110 Detachable Box Magazine Systems thread) indicate the DBM system in the 11 THXP is the plastic AXIS system with the release clip on the mag itself.

I think, if my research is right, I can order the mag frame (bottom metal) and mag bottom from Savage, and install them in the Choate stock and basically have my conversion to work with the rifle... Is that correct? Is it a pretty easy plug n' play type conversion?

Additionally, would it be easier, or even possible, to just order a stock with a blind mag and forget the whole DBM system? Or is that a bad idea?

I know... lots of questions, probably fairly noob stuff, but I'm new to rifle shooting and don't want to waste money ordering the wrong stuff... I didn't find a thread that addressed this specifically, but if there is one that I missed, I'm happy to click a link a read :)

Thanks!!
