Another Newbie to Savage question. OK, from what I read, Savage's model designations are 2 digits for a short action and 3 for a long action. I thought a .308 would be a short action but my rifle is a model 111. What gives?

Lots more to the story. Take a look at the FAQ section or perhaps someone who is willing to post all the info as I am just too lazy.
That wasn't true in the beginning. Then it was, and now just recently it is not true again. This causes a lot of confusion. Revently Savage went back to everything being 3 digits. One easy way to identify is going by action screw spacing.
I guess it would be too confusing for them to have a 110 model made in either a long or a short action version.
Yes, God forbid they should use 110L or 110S to differentiate between long or short actions. That would be too simple.
Except the 110L was the original left-hand designation, and "L" has always been used to signify LH models. Also, the 110S was the Silhouette model back in the mid-late 1970's.Quote:
