Stumped: What's the Diff Between a Savage 110 and 111?

[Citadelgrad87]

30-06 is a long action caliber.

No. G=wood F=synthetic.

I know 30-06 is a long action caliber. My dad has a 110 in .243, which is a necked down .308, which is a short action. So 110s come in both long and short actions.

A poster above specualted that 110=short and 111=long, but that's not the distinction.

I'm just trying to decipher what the difference is between a 110 and a 111.

LMAO

It goes to 11 !


The J series Savages were long actions that were cut with smaller magazine and ejection port openings. The exterior lengths were the same as the regular long actions but the stock screw spacing was shorter and they were chambered in short action calibers.

If you order a replacement stock for it, you have to specify that it's for a J series.
