CDI does make a DBM for the bottom bolt release Savage.
Maybe give CDI a call to see if you can swap it out for the right version for your rifle.

They sent me one that says I need file down the release and epoxy something to it but I don't quite understand how it works and Jeff or Pam don't answer down there

Re: savage model 10 pc bolt release relocation

You file the little tab for the bolt release so that the epoxy adheres to it when you install the little aluminum release tab that came with it.

Third picture from the left shows the bolt release tab that you would be epoxying on to your release lever.

You got screwed over like I did, never noticed the bolt release until after the gun was purchased. Savage needs their ass kicked for ever coming out with that pos.

ya savage does need to rethink that but the way it operates is flawless, its a good design for a person thats not going to modify the gun at all

I have an action like that. I plan on modifying it to use their traditional bolt release. The only difference between the traditional and the 'accustock'version is the sear bracket (like $15 from savage) and the receiver needs a flat spot milled into it where the bolt release sits next to it. I just so happen to have a mill so this is a non issue for me, but i bet any gunsmith could also do it.

Only kicker is savage will only sell that part to a gunsmith. But any local gunsmith shouldn't have a problem ordering it for you.

You will also need to mill out a small amount behind the rear action screw on the top side.
