I have some of the new Savage 10FCP AccuStock 24" fluted heavy barrel with muzzle brake & DBM in 223 1/9" twist rifles coming in this week. It looks like Savage has changed the receiver again for the new AccuStock. I will post some pictures when I get them. It has a third receiver screw in front of the recoil lug.
Here is what the new rifle and stock looks like.

</span>
An aluminum spine is molded into the stock for enhanced rigidity. More importantly, this spine incorporates a revolutionary three-dimensional bedding system not found on even aftermarket or custom stocks.
As the action screws are tightened, the action is wedged between the sides of the bedding cradle. These prestressed rails continue to apply horizontal and vertical pressure to the action.
The energy released when a cartridge is fired creates a series of harmonic waves that travel the length of the barrel. While it may sound counterintuitive, the movement that accompanies these waves factors into the accuracy equation and must necessarily be embraced. For these reasons, any rifle with respectable accuracy will have a "free floating barrel" and a firmly bedded action. "Free floating" is an absolute. Either the barrel is untouched by the stock or it´s not. However, a bedded action can come in many shapes and forms.
Traditionally, an action is secured to the stock by one or two screws that pull the action directly downward into the stock. This bedding method provides excellent rigidity on a single, linear plane & up and down. The action cannot jump up and away from the stock.
The new AccuStock™ from Savage consists of a rigid rail system that is firmly embedded in the stock throughout the length of the fore-end of the rifle. Rather than unidirectionally engaging the action at one or two points, the AccuStock™ engages the action three dimensionally along its entire length.
AccuStock™ models have a third action screw forward of the magazine well
