If you are planning to change the stock to an aftermarket or a hand made stock, you can add what ever bottom metal you wish, and from there it can interchange to the others if you wanted to! if you end up with a non accustock rifle, you can always surf the interwebs like amazon and ebay looking for a take off that you could swap out to.
The Bottom metal kits are getting around $250 with ONE mag, but they ( in .308) can take the ACIS or P-Mags interchangeably. MY Savage 10FCP didnt have an accustock and it had a blind mag of 4 rounds, my 10T-SR had the accustock, but didn't have the larger bottom metal for the high cap mags, I got the kit from Brownells and swaped the TSR over, and found a take off on ebay for $45 and got a kit to convert the FCP, now both rifles have the high cap mags and they interchange between them and the new Ruger Precision Rifle, Plus, they interchange with one of my Remington 700's ( but in .243) so that fixes the mag issues, and if I ever wanted to add an AR-10 type rifle, I already have 10 round mags for it. My advise, for a hunting rifle, don't go out of your way to find an accustock, but if your planing something else, then it might make sense for you! I always recommend the Savage Mod.10 series in .308 for learning long range shooting, it could work as a hunting rifle, but it's a tad on the heavy side. the 111 series are basically the same rifle but once you get into the long actions ( .30/06 or Magnum's) they will not all interchange parts.
