Savage announces bolt-action 6mm ARC - 2 models
#5
If they are saying it's the savage dbm design, then 3 or 4, probably 4. It's that snap-in flush bottom mag. Their 308 and Creedmoor Axis models have 4 (I think!) round dbm's.
There was an FCP style, FCP/SR model that has a dbm style but a 10-round capacity. Looks/Looked ugly. (I think I have one of those stashed somewhere). But the DBM's are typically 3 or 4's.
Issue with me is whether I would want just an 18" barrel in the 110 style. Either model I would be swapping out to another stock/chassis...
Mags important to me too.
Their dbm probably has some kind of rear spacer to take up some room, the Axis is a one-size long action. the bolt follower/collar behind the lugs may have some extension to take up some cycling room, otherwise the bolt would cycle too far back.

It may be a moot point with me since these are relatively late (for me) to the party, I've already dropped some $$ on a uintah upper, which is a straight bolt action design.

If the Axis were the SR-ready barrel, or the 18" tactical were 20 or 22", then I'd be really interested in it.
