From what I gather, anything nowadays in the "110" line is based on the Savage short action (or long action but not concerned with that one here) earlier known as "model 10", as far as action screw spacing etc. I recently got a 100 switchback in 223 and changed it out into a savage magpul stock, so I've been through the mor. Note however a couple of things I discovered:
1. the switchback uses a 4mm allen head, vice earlier SAE, 3/16 IIRC.
2. Any replacement stock might need a set of standard savage action screws, but you can get those over the counter from a few places.
3. The bottom "metal" for mine was plastic, again you may need to get real steel, bottom metal for the replacement stocks. I think my plastic stuff also was slightly different in dimensions, but I've been doing savages for a few years and have the steel stuff on hand. The magpul stocks (and MDT chassis IIRC) come with all that hardware you need for their stock. sometimes the savage-supplied screws are different lengths than a replacement stock might take.
4. The savage "DBM" mags for these new, cheaper setups are an axis-style (the new type) where the release button sits out front on the front of the mag, they don't use the older model 10 dbm style... so as a result that bottom plastic mag well differs from the standard model 10 style.
5. There are some AI style 6 Arc/grendel mags available. MDT has one, AIcs I think (steel) and one other magpul maybe. You might have to try one or the other to see how they feed. For my 223 the MDT and the steel one work, the 3rd kind didn't feed. this is completely a case of ymmv however.
I have a lot of stock savage stocks sitting around, I'd sell if somebody wants them.
eta, watch out on the takeoffs, one has a skinny barrel channel and the other has a medium-type channel, which would be the one you want if you go for the takeoff.
