Mmmm... I have a 10 BA Stealth sitting in the safe that is a large shank, but not a Target Action. Not sure what you mean by "shrouded bolt"? Small ejection port, maybe?

I think at some point Savage decided to start moving more models over to the large shank and/or larger scope base screws (8-32)... right about the time more manufacturers started using Savage small shank threads so people could use pre-fit barrels easier.
