Savage changed the short action magazines and screw spacing a few years back.
The old ones are called staggered feed and have a spacing of 4.275". The magazine is attached to the action.
The new ones are called center feed, have a spacing of 4.400 and the magazine is attached to the stock.
Stocks are not interchangeable between the two types of short actions. You'll need to measure the screw spacing to know if that stock will work with that action. Be careful measuring - that's only 1/8" difference.
Good luck,
Dana
