Mid to late 1965 production (1st Gen). Your rifle should have the old-style shrouded bolt with band-style extractor.

None of the pre-fit barrels offered will fit your rifle as in 1966 Savage changed to the current bolt design and all the pre-fits are for the newer style bolt. You could replace the entire bolt assembly, but doing so is cost prohibitive in this day and age. By the time you bought a complete new bolt and the new barrel you could just buy a brand new rifle in your caliber of choice.
This isn't to say you can't rebarrel your rifle, you'll just have to have a reputable gunsmith do the job for you.
