The Short actions: 10, 11, 12, 16 Are all identical. They have different stock, finish combinations from the factory. Same goes for the long actions.
When Savage changes "options" the website doesn't show what was, only is. Since bolt handles, followers, stocks all interchange. It is possible that that someone put a different bolt handle on it, and added the single shot follower.
No the model won't matter at all, as said it is an option difference. You have a "small shank barrel" so any Savage barrel with "standard" threads will screw right in.
