J.Baker I agree, Savage makes it difficult at best to understand it's model codes. I did a bunch of searching around and this model is listed wrong on their website. All the venders who carry this list it as a 16" barrel, Savage says it has a 21" barrel. And I believe the "C" denotes a "removable clip magazine" according to Savages codes? So anyway I went out on a limb and ordered the rifle online and having it shipped to my FFL of choice, we'll see in a few days when it arrives what the box says and what it actually is. I'm a 22mag junkie and love the round and the rifles that shoot them, so what's one more to the collection....
