With the little I know about Savage I could not possibly believe they would institute a whole separate bolt or extractor for these 2 rifles just for the 6ARC.

I bring this up because I am to the point that before winter I hope to convert a Model 11 from 223 to 6ARC.
Savage has the same problem with 6mmARC. Thing is, not every rifle suffers the problem. Some work just fine. Some people likely don’t speak about of it. And regardless of it all; “frankly my dear, Savage doesn’t give a darn!” Remember, owners have been complaining for decades about the heavy bolt lift. And yet, Savage has never addressed the issue. So, should give insight on that.
