Morning All,
I have a m200 308 that I want to retube in 708. But I'm new to savages and not sure what barrel to order. is it a long shank, a short one. and what the heck is a standard shank.
Thanks

It's a small shank
Welcome to the land of the barrel nut, TJ!
Here are some words to remember with regard to Savage centerfire rifles when ordering a barrel.
Long action, short action, large shank, small shank. Barrels aren't specific with regard to action length, just shank size. Barrel twist is relative to what weight and length of bullet you intend to shoot. Some cartridges will only fit a long action, check to make sure your action will accept a 7-08 cartridge before ordering a barrel. If I'm not mistaken, the 308 was specifically designed to fit a short action.
