The original Savage action was the 110, (All long actions.) the short actions with the 2 digit numbers did not come out untill latter one. (Mid to late 1990's) The guns had the same designation then as they do now. The 12 series was a Target/Varmint rifle.(As it is today.) The reason why you dont see the 112 any more is because the chambering for a varmint/target rifle usualy fall under the short action requirements.
