Has anyone measured the spacing on the 110 ba specifically 338 lapau? I am curious if that is a different beast all together verses a regular long action?

I purchased a new in box Savage 18184 STD target action recently, RBRP .

However it has the 3.44 screw spacing and came with a .223 bolt head.
It may be a 18185 but for sure its not a 18184 as the box shows. When I enter the SN on the Savage web site it comes up a RBRP STD.

I wonder if Savage is going to the 3.44 for all their single shot actions?

There is a 10 year date gap between 1st and 2nd Gen lengths.

Is that a typo?

No it was not. If you read the complete aricle you will find this paragraph under "Long Actions":

From 1988 to 1997 all Savage bolt-action rifles were made on long-actions. Those chambered for short-action cartridges have a shorter magazine port cut to work with the existing short-action magazine boxes from previous years. As such, even though the action is technically a long action you can not mount a long-action cartridge magazine to it without having the magazine port lengthened.

Hmmm, interesting.....

Can someone tell how long a cartridge can be used in Axis magazines, long and short?

Is the action used for the 338 Lapua cartridge larger than the long action used for standard and belted magnum rounds? Screw spacing the same?

Same as a standard long action.

[GaCop]

Same as a standard long action. Thanks!

I notice the link is broken in the first post. The correct url is http://www.savageshooters.com/content.php?128-Savage-Action-Lengths

Fixed. Looks like the older articles that were published on the old site and transferred over to vBulletin during the development stage all have /test in the link which was the directory we used to populate the new software at the time.


Update: All article links should be fixed now. Fortunately there were only about 30 that needed updated.
