Definitely buy the Savage, you will not regret it. I have a factory Accustock that I took off my Model 10, its far better then the non accustock. I do have one thing to offer, look at Cabelas for a Model 10T, its exclusive to Cabelas, and they are getting pretty hard to find. I got mine last October for $550 old. It's $600 right now. What is the difference between the 10T at Cabelas for $600 and the 11VT at Dick's for $580 other than the one at Dick's comes with a Bushnell scope?

A savage model 11 should be the same action as a model 10 so the model 10 stocks should fit.
Not in this case-he is looking at the 11 VT, which is a heavy barrel. The model 10 stocks are made to fit a sporter. A few more options: You could get always get a model 10 in .308 from BPS for now since you have a gift card, and re-barrel later with a heavier-profile barrel (from ER Shaw, etc.) You would be looking at another $250 or so and would have to do some work to the barrel channel to make it fit, but it can be done. Howa is offering new for this year a 24" heavy profile varmint model with two different wood laminate stocks (nutmeg and pepper); legacysports.com. I wouldn't hesitate to own one. I don't know of another factory offering with a heavy-barrel and wood stock. I like the Howa too. Didn't know it came in that configuration from the factory. I might see if BPS can order it.

Just got off the phone with Savage. Sounds like the both the 10T qualifies for $100 rebate and the 11VT qualifies for the $50 rebate. As JD said, the 10T has the accustock and the 11VT does not. But the 11VT is $20 cheaper and comes with the Bushnell scope. I'll probably pick whichever is in stock once I get my BPS gift card sold. Both seem to be an excellent value with the rebate.
Thanks to all for the help!
