Difference in a Savage 10 and Savage Axis actions?

My rifle started life as a Savage 10 in .308 in an Accustock with detachable bottom metal. An A-5, Obermeyer .260 and CDI bottom metal later, if I get another left hand short action with 4.4" screw spacing I can reassemble the .308 and have a rifle my stepson can shoot. Today, on Bud's I saw Savage Axis LH rifles for $265. That's cheap enough to buy the rifle and pilfer the action from.

Will it work?
