*REALLY* stupid question on model number.

[kevin_stevens]

How do I find the exact model number for my new-to-me 116 Alaskan Guide? Does it even have one - this was a special non-catalog limited run done in 2006? I don't have the original box, and the manual is just the generic centerfire manual for that year. Want to know so I can order appropriate parts from Numrich for various little parts (stock screws, escutcheons, etc.).

If not an exact model number, is there a way to match up the barrel, stock, and action to other "real" models to meet the same purpose?

Type your serial # into the parts finder on the Savage site, that should bring up your gun.
As for action screws the local hardware store should have 1/4 x 28 screws and also buy a few nuts, get screws longer than needed then cut,grind or file to fit,at the same time a piece of lamp rod for pillars also need to cut and fit.Escutcheons I haven't seen for sale so you may need to make your own.

Yes - but by model I meant the whole "116FSSXXXX" kind of string that tells you what barrel, stock, action, etc. that's why I say if it was a special run, that model info might not exist. But I doubt they made a special stock or barrel just for those guns, they are the same as something else, and if I could match them up, I'd be in better shape. Something like "that's the standard magnum contour barrel from the 2006 Safari Express, but in stainless; matched with the stock and action from the Weather Warrior". I don't think it's quite that simple, but you get the idea.

Aha! Perfect, just what I was looking for! Savage simply calls it a "MOD 116FSS 375 H&H". And the parts list pops. Thanks so much!

In return, there's a guy named Dixon at longriflesinc.com who makes escutcheons.

Thanks again!

Ha! It's the specific parts list, too!

Questions to gain intelligence.

I've been know to tell my students that the ONLY stupid question they can ask is "Do we need our book today?"

I was always told the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Was that in response to a question you asked, or not? ;)

If i recall it was a comment made by a teacher many moons ago to the class to get us to ask questions.
