Where can I find info on Savage model 112 single shot?

Take your ruler when you go to look at it. The true 112 Varmint Single Shot has the usual LA 5 1/8 screw spacing, just like all Long actions and is small shank. There is also a "J" action that is usually what the 22-250's are in. I don't know the screw spacing for them. You have to measure them. SN does not tell you a thing. They will have an after market trigger or the usual 3 screw. I believe it is quite a job to put a AccuTrigger in them. The "true" LA single shots are getting hard to find, I have two and would not part with them.

Is it a current model? The only one I can find like that on the factory website is a 12 LRPV with left port. Not a cheap rifle.

A 112 single shot could only be 1 of 2, it's either a first generation short action 4.522" spacing, or a long action 5.062".

Ok, what is my best bet for finding a benchrest style stock for one of those two?

I would prefer a fiberglass stock with an aluminum bedding block, 3" forend and a flat bottom. I'm not afraid of doing some fiberglass and foam work for the inlet.

Is there any chance I can install my spare Accu-trigger on what I'm assuming are pre-accu-trigger actions?

I'm going for a benchrest rifle, not competitive benchrest so I don't need a 2oz trigger.

If it’s the earlier J series single shot action...I don’t think your gonna find a drop in flat bottom stock with an aluminum block.

I’d say your going basically custom route. Manners or McMillan and they will inlet it for your action. The pillar bed it. Pillar bedding will give you a better fit/bed job then dealing with an aluminum block and any tolerance issues.

Good news, the current owner says it isn't a J model so I assume it's the true long action type.

Does this change anything about the possibility of swapping in an Accu-trigger?

Also, I see that some target actions have a third screw. Would there be any benefit to adding a third screw and bedding pillar? I'm thinking of barreling it like a Remington 700 with a shouldered barrel, 30"+ with a heavy profile, like a Sendero or heavier.

Last thing, with a true long action 112 single shot, what is the best scope mounting setup for single loading? Should I go for a two piece base and try to load with my left hand? If not, will a one piece base make right hand loading difficult with a rimless case that's about 0.550" at the base?

Thanks for the help.

Measure the screw spacing, 5 1/16 is true long action. There is no "J" in the SN. If it is true LA then it is old and the AccuTrigger is probably not an option. Tinker with the 3 screw on it or get a Sav 2 or the new Jard.

As far as finding a stock to fit that action, probably not much of a chance. Cu$tom made i$ an option.
The back end of the actions are the same in the trigger/bolt release area so a wood or laminated stock can be modified. Just move the recoil lug area forward. Done a few myself with good results.
Couldn't find a one piece scope mount in the style I liked so I had one custom made. Holes never match, covered the loading port, either too long or too short.
Two piece mounts work but I preferred the one piece with the windage adjustment so I had one made. Couple of new mounts, cut apart, mixed pieces and re welded into a one piece mount where ALL the holes matched. Looks and works like factory made.
