I have a Savage 116 Alaskan Brush Hunter that came with a standard long action blind mag centerfeed with top bolt release. Could I screw it into a 116 LA Bear hunter accu-stock with the hinged floor plate with triggerguard bolt release? The Bear hunter model was for a heavy barrel like the Brush Hunter so the barrel channel should be big enough.

Could you just notch the stock for the top bolt release?

I was going to put a PTG bottom metal into the stock I have already, but wonder if this would be option if the inletting didn't go well.

The opening on the bottom for hinged floorplate would be the same as a dbm correct?

If anyone has an ideas I would appreciate the advice.

Thanks
