Short action magazine length differences

[bootsmcguire]

Thanks Boots!
Are the SA-CF you are talking about typically the detachable mag or fixed mag style?

SA-CF is my abbreviation for Short Action - Centerfeed which just means that it is a Short Action that is equipped with a Centerfeed style magazine. The older Savages used Staggerfeed type magazines and now they all use Centerfeed regardless of Hinged, Detachable, or Fixed. All the magazine types use the exact same magazine hardware for the body and follower, (keep in mind the slight differences I mentioned above depending on the chambering the magazine was originally intended for) it just varies as to whether it is inside a blind hole in the stock for a fixed, or whether it is snapped onto a detachable floor plate (steel or plastic), or if it is snapped onto a Hinged Floor Plate.
