Nope!
Savage discontinued the mid-length Gen I short actions as a cost cutting measure. One has to remember that Savage filed for bankruptcy in early 1988. When Ron Coburn came in to rebuild the company he had to let go of 2/3 of it's employees and dropped everything from production except for the Model 110, Model 99, Model 24 and Stevens Favorite to make the company profitable again. Once they were back on their feet financially and able to begin expanding their offerings they introduced a new "true" short action (Gen II) with the 4.275" screw spacing in 1998.
