Question for the Savage crowd

[Bloody_Tailgate]

Can someone give me a list of the Savage models with a barrel nut and floating bolt head?

I've always been a Remington guy, just looking for something different. I have seen a few used Savages advertised lately and I want to make sure I get one that I can swap barrels/calibers myself.

Thanks

All of their bolt actions dating back to the 1960s.

However, the Edge and Axis models aren't the same as the rest. Avoid them.

Any model 10, 12 (short action), 110, 112 (long action) ... Or Stevens 200 (long and short) will work for a build.

If you plan on changing the trigger out go with the stevens cause its a little cheaper than the accutrigger models. Riflebasix along with some others make a pretty nice drop in triggers for them.

The Edge/Axis models you can still change the barrel as they are the same as any other Savage. Just no aftermarket stocks for them YET! No reason to avoid them unless you want to go all out on a build.
