Savage bottom bolt release stocks

[DLT]

What stock options is available for the bottom bolt release style savage 10s and 12s. The factory accustocks are just ok in my opinion. I haven’t run across any. Thanks

Works well... needed some clearance for a timely trigger, but factory dbm and mags work.

Usual +- for aluminum frame fiberglass stocks like B&C and HS. Heavy, strong, not many accessories, may need a bit of filing to fit well, etc.

Check out Eabco, (E A Brown) they have a few different ones for bottom release Savage's

Never seen one (bottom release) but thinking there isn't too much of a problem converting top to bottom release. If you had to, you could fill the top cut out and open it on the bottom?
Had issues getting a right hand thumbhole stock cut for a left hand action.
Ended up with a mirror image bolt release cut on the left side. ( )
Finally got a right hand stock, right hand action cut, filled the right hand bolt handle cut and recut it on the left side. If you go that way, there are LOTS of stock designs/options to choose from.

To me it’s a little more involved to change one from a bottom to a top release. The action needs a good bit milled out for it to work.

You're NOT milling out the action, just the stock.

I had a Choate years ago with PTG bottom metal on a model 11 bottom bolt release.
Worked well but not my favorite stock.
