Savage ?? Single shot Bolt??

[Boilertrash107]

I’ve been directed here, from the Cody folks, …. Tried both searching on Savage site… and finally called em and all I found out is they basically cannot help me figure what I’ve recently acquired..
My background is a reloaded/paper punching fan… ( recreation only) .. Been searching for a single shot bolt gun I could swing,being retired…. GOT ONE!!!! now for the big question!!
Definitely a Savage, from 75-79 era…. This ol gal has been repiped with a McGowen,26” heavy target barrel..
Other than a serial number on receiver ,there is no evidence f what model I have…
Serial ## is C845603.. Chambered in 250 Savage.
Appreciating any and all suggestions.. Kinda embarrassing to show it off, when I’m not sure what the heck I bought?.
Thanks in advance, TMS

It was made in 1978. You likely have a model 112V Series J. It’s been rebarreled, so no way of telling what cartridge it started life as. Does it resemble the below picture? Measure the distance between the centers of the Action Screws. It will be the standard 5.062” Long Action or 4.522” Short Action.(Intermediate)

Oh, and if it is like the one above, you want to post any other questions in the 110 Forum. :tea:

I believe we’ve got it Dave!! Thank you for responding!, after about a week of scrambling,WE (my local FFL) and I ,went back to drawing board!! What it turns out is this is a med action flatback, They are saying it’s a 10/110 series from the Serial number..C845603.. Thank YOU for helping !! Hope
Jeanette my FFL, says after 30 years, it’s the first medium action she’s ever seen….. Again thanks a million ! TMS

Ahh, you have the 110S Silhouette. Besides the stock being different between, the 110S had a 22” barrel, while the 112V had a 26”. Does yours look like this one below then? Sorry I took so long answering. I just saw your post today. That’s why I recommended the 110 forum from now on. Had it been there, I or one of many others would have answered immediately. The 112V & Silhouette 110S were “Series J”, single shot built on the Intermediate 4.522” Action.

How does a fella add pictures…?? I’m all screwed up…!!

[Dave Hoback]

What does the butt stock look like? The first or 2nd pic I posted?

I prefer using this site. https://imgbb.com/ Upload an image, then click on the image & copy the “BBCode”. Then just paste it right in the thread. You get a full-size image 3rd party hosted. And you don’t have to join that site or even give your name/email. It’s completely anonymous & free.

Moved to correct forum...

[Dave Hoback]

Hey Boilertrash.. pretty sure you have a 112V “J series”, not a 110S. Based on your picture, can tell by the stock. Look at the first picture I posted. It’s the exact same.

Same Action as a 110. Stripped down they can’t be distinguished apart. The model numbers simply tell tell the various characteristics: Stock, Barrel Length/Prifile, colors, etc.

[Boilertrash107]

Thanks a million Dave!!

[Dave Hoback]

Thanks a million Dave!!

No worries.. That’s what we do here. :tea: Your FFL was correct, in that regardless if it’s a Model 111, 112, 114 or 116, they are all 110 Actions. But as I indicated, the Devil’s in the details.

Back in the day, one of the guys on here was a BIG collector (?) of the 220 Swift in 110/112 V rifles. He had a "few".;)
My first Savage is a 110V (J series) in .223. Been a test bed for just about everything. It'll be mine till the day I die than, someone else will have to deal with it. It's been a good teacher. :cool:

Oh crap! Yeah.. I forgot there was a 110V as well. Lol! Honestly I don’t know the difference between the 112V & 110V without looking them up. From sight, it’s easy to distinguish the 110S & 112V. But the 110 & 112 “V’s” look the same at face value. I think I’ll go research it now.

EDIT: Wait… is the only difference being the 112V J is single shot, & the 110V J is a 5-shot blind mag?

Homemade wine going on back there?

[Boilertrash107]

Yes Sir!! Been at it for some 20 years…. Actually not a bad hobby…. Easy to find enough folks hat do drink he stuff…..haha Me, I’m. Wild Turkey fan….😍

"EDIT: Wait… is the only difference being the 112V J is single shot, & the 110V J is a 5-shot blind mag?"

110V (J). blind mag attached to the action body. High Score single shot follower installed. Ejector rod and spring removed from bolt head. Brass stays on the bolt head till YOU take it off.
And the J series actions were the "inbetweeners". Shorter than the now long actions and longer than the now short actions.
Seems like at that time, Savage was starting to standardize their action sizes/lengths?
Getting parts for the J series guns could be fun? Ended up having a scope mount "custom made" that matched all the holes and didn't block any of the action loading port opening. You do what you need to do to get what you want.
And finding a stock could be fun too. Easy enough to have escutcions made for the front action screw. Move the recoil lug hole a bit, install the escuction and it fits like the glove upon the hand. Looks slick too. The front of the action length is the only difference. Move the lug hole forward on a short action stock and bed as needed.

[Dave Hoback]

One thing Mikie, the “J Series” had nothing to do with the Action length. The J was simply to designate a new version.
