terrebonne, or
does it make sense this guy is selling a stock on ebay and says it will fit either a model 110, 111, 10fp, 11, or any savage model out there? I asked him what made him think it would fit long or short actioned rifles, he says it will but im wondering what woiuld make it fit lol. heres the link to see for yourself The magic stock
 
Re: question on a stock

not at all does it, i asked him repeatedly if it would fit both and he keeps saying yes. so i sent him this

Is there a difference between a long and short action bolt savage 110?

1/2 of an inch. Long actions accomodate a larger cartridge calliber. Most savage rifles are long action. You can measure the distance between the front trigger guard screw (action screw) and the stock screw (forward action screw) to determine if your savage 110 is short or long action. The long action will measure 5 inches center to center and the short will measure 4 1/2 inches.

Some of the older long action Savage 110 rifles will take the traditional short action calibers like 223,243 or 308. This has caused some confusion because the newer short action model 10 rifles are in these calibers. The best way to tell what action length you have is to measure from center to center of the action screws. The long action is 5.062 inches center to center, the short action is 4.275 inches center to center.
