model 11 with a boyds stock or model 10

[foxx]

Both of these have what's often called a "Axis Style" detachable box magazine. If you go with the model 11, and later "upgrade" to a Boyds stock, you will have to buy a $15 plastic part from Savage for the DBM system. No big deal, maybe, but you must figure that into the cost of the Boyd's stock.

The model 10 already comes with this $15 part (it's a plastic bottom metal which holds/keeps the DBM in place when using wood stocks).

Other than that, they are the same.

Personally, without seeing the actual gun (model 10), unless it's NOT particularly pretty wood, I would just go with it.
