It is my understanding that it is best to measure the center screw holes "center to center".
From the EGW FAQ:
Savage (Pre Accu-Trigger): Flat back receivers were made in 3 different lengths until 2003.
*To be sure, you must measure your center screw spread.
Savage Flat Back – Short Action (SA) - 3.925”
Savage Flat Back – Medium Action – 4.190”
Savage Flat Back - Long action (LA) - 4.612”
Savage (With Accu-Trigger): Round back, guns with accu-trigger after 2003 to date except Edge/Axis.
Short Action (SA): 223 308
Any two-digit model number beginning with a 1 (10, 12, etc.)
Long Action (LA): 30-06 270 280 300 Win Mag
Any three-digit model number beginning with a 1 (110, 111, etc.)
