Help!! I am looking at a Savage 110 in 223, walnut stock and it has the large barrel nut but not the accutrigger. Has a Blind mag that puzzles me. Mag has a spacer on the back side (between primer end and bolt (when bolt is open). I am slightly familar with the newer savages (accutrigger) but have not seen this spacer....
Guy wants $300 and I don't have an up-to-date book on gun values ??

All of the older 110's were built on a long action for all calibers. When Savage chambered them in anything shorter than the 30.06 cartridge they put a spacer in it and a different bolt stop to make the bolt throw shorter.

You can get a brand new Stevens in a synthetic stock and no accutrigger for less than $300 right now, so that used Savage is not the best deal out there.

Thanks Fjold; Have never owned or shot a Savage and was not sure of value or the spacer.

They shoot good, I have one. The advantage to the long action is you can convert it to a 06, or a mag later!
