Sorry for the short notice, but I may be picking up a rifle tonight if the answers are correct.

I'm going to be building a 6mm BR and have the opportunity to pick up a Savage rifle model 111 in 270 (long action) for $237. Can I use this action for the build? I guess with a long action I also have a greater selection of calibers?

Does this have the accutrigger? Does it take a large shank barrel? does that matter?

Thanks for the help.
