Any short action Mod 10/11, Stevens 200 SA will work (if you can find a 200 short action). Converting from 223 to 260 down the road will require a new bolt head and magazine. The Savage factory DBM set up is ok but after market systems are better (CDI) but cost quite a bit more, especially for the very good AIC magazines. Overall, you have a good handle on what you want to do. Any after market barrel will work well for your conversion be it Criterion, McGowan, etc. The Rifle Basix triggers are good value for the money and will easily adjust to the pull weight your looking for.
