Welcome!
I think Savage made the short action Model 10 in 300 caliber. Someone may have put a 300 barrel on a long action, but never say never with Savage!
I have a 110E ( should be a long action) but is a true short action. Anyway, you have a VERY fine rifle there. The 300 Savage is accurate, efficient and rather high on the cool factor. Ammo is generally easy to find, but if you're a reloader its easy to make cases from 308' s. If you go that route, make sure you don't mix them with 308' s by mistake... Serious headspace issues. Anyway, I would say that you paid a little high for the rifle, but not excessively so. If you like the rifle then its worth what you paid. Everything is only worth what someone will pay for it. My 110E 243 cost me $219 out the door. I wouldn't sell it for twice that.
Let us know how she shoots. Try 150' s for deer. You won't be disappointed.
