With all of the different abbreviation that are used for the different Savage rifles and forum, is there place to find all of the explanations. Can I get some help to id the different abbreviations.

There are a few exceptions...
AK -Adjustable Muzzle Brake
B -Laminate Stock
C -Clip (Detachable Box Mag.)
F -Synthetic Stock
G -Hardwood Stock
L -Left Hand
LE -Law Enforcement
ML -Muzzleloader
NS -No Sights
P -Police
SE -Safari Express
SS -Stainless Steel
U -Ultra High Lustre
V -Long Range (Heavy Barrel)
XP -Package Gun
Y -Youth

Example - Model 111FLC
F = Synthetic Stock
L = Left Hand
C = Clip

Also some people will use these for other things and you will see them often when people are describing thier rifles:

LA = Long Action
SA = Short Action
SF = Stagger Feed Magazine
CF = Center Feed Magazine
HFP = Hinged Floor Plate
DBM = Detachable Box Magazine
BM = Blind Magazine
BAS = Bolt Assembly Screw

(example: LA/CF/DBM = Long Action, Centerfeed, with Detachable Box Magazine)

Also looking at the factory abbreviations that stangfish listed above sometimes there are combos that Savage uses that vary a tad.

Example: 16FSAK = Model 16, Synthetic Stock, Stainless, Muzzle Brake. In this example they only use "S" rather than "SS" to designate Stainless while a 12FVSS (Model 12, Synthetic stock, Varmint/Heavy Barrel, Stainless) uses the "SS" to designate Stainless.
