Thanks, but I already know the model 11 does not come in stainless. I am being a little impatient and just hoping that some one here has a inside ear to upcoming Savage models. I am looking for a light weight rifle for hunting in the mountains out west, one that weighs less than my other bolt actions, and I wish to buy American. Was set to buy a Kimber M84 Montana but the Savage looks like it would cost about $300-$400 less and that savings would pay about 1/2-2/3rds of my scope of choice.

Thanks,

Arthur.
