Well, that is where it usually gets confusing...LOLOriginally Posted by pyscodog
Most likely yours is what Savage calls an "intermediate short action", also commonly referred to as a "J" action. These actions have a screw spacing of 4.522", compared to a true long actions spacing of 5.0". This was their first attempt at a short action for the smaller cartridges.
They did however have some years where the shorter cartridges were made on a true long action, before this action was produced I believe.
Just measure your action screw spacing to be positive which you have, but I'm pretty sure it'll be the intermediate action.
Still waiting to see pics of said rifle... LOL
