Dave is absolutely right, it is a short action actually a standard short action.
The .223 cartridge is too short for a reliable feed from a standard short action so Savage puts a block in the back of the magazine. The lower mag is the .223 and the one in the back is a standard short action mag.
They also put a flange on the standard Savage short action bolt to shorten the bolt throw.
