That's what I wanted to know.

TroubleI was hoping someone could unlock the mystery for me of the Savage Model #s.
Their website only shows current production rifles. In the recent past their have been models 10,11,12,16 and also models 110,111,112,and 116. I assumed that the differences in these was simply long/short actions but now I'm not so sure. Also what stocks will interchange?
Thanks for any info.

FjoldEverything with 2 digits, 10, 11, 12, etc. are short actions and the stocks will all interchange. Everything with three digits 110, 111, 112 etc. are all long actions and their stocks will interchange. There was a group of guns made over 20 years ago called the "J series" which were long actions but had different action screw spacings.

bowhuntrrlI would also like to add that AK in the model number designates the "adjustable brake". Likewise, "S or SS" designate stainless.I think tha B means it has a laminated stock and F means a synthetic stock.
