Accutrigger or not. the 2 digit name means a short action in most instances until recently. as far as the bolt release goes, I summed it up in my first post. The bottom release has less options due to the trigger guard. There are options though. Google it, Search for it. Learn about it.

You might want to check the length of the loaded 6.5 wsm. The long action might be a better choice. The AICS SA mags will probably have you stuffing your bullet way back in the case.
AICS mags allow for 2.950 COAL which is not OPTIMAL but I also am not going to cry over 3-4gr of powder I'm losing. I went ahead and made a few rounds and I'd like to get around 3.050 but 2.950 isn't bad at all if I can get my throat reamed for it (or somewhere close).

But let me understand something (I'm new to Savage), the model 11 and model 10 is the same RECEIVER?

See I don't much care about the mags or bolt release. The b&c stock has options of top or bottom bolt release. And I plan on using pt&g or cdi bottom metal and the model 11 I found is already a 300wsm. I'm just trying to figure out if the parts are interchangeable so I don't get stuck.
