What's the difference?

azgunnut01 · 02-20-2008, 11:44 PM

Does anyone know what the difference in a Model 111G and a Model 11G? I have a 11G and I'm wondering if a stock from a 111G will fit it.

The difference is action length, the 11 is a short action (.223, .243, .308, etc.) while the 111 is a long action ie: .270, .30-06, etc...

stocks will not interchange.

So is there a 10 and a 110, etc.?

yes young steven.

Not all 110/112 actions are the same length either. My .223 from the early 90's has a full magnum length action. My sons older .22-250 is a medium length ('06) action.

a .223 with a magnum length action!?

There are a few other manufacturers that do the same thing. They make only long actions and chamber them for short action cartridges. I think they include the rem 770 and the cz but am not sure.

lefty o · 02-21-2008, 08:17 PM

yeah, standard length actions, not magnum length actions.

The Savage 110 series rifles come in at least 2 different lengths. The longest version I have seen is the one that is currently referred to as a long action. Call it what you like, I have one chambered .223. For a period of time, in the early 90's I think, this was the only length action available regardless of caliber. I'm pretty confident that this same length action that Savage uses for their 375 h&h Alaskan. There is another "older" 110 series action length that is in between this current "long action" and the 10 series "short action" rifles in action length.

Thanks for all the info. That clears it up for me. I probably should have looked at the calibers and figured it out, but if we were all geniuses I guess we wouldn't need forums like this. Thanks again.

Am interested in this rifle, does anyone have one and how does it perform? Would like to find one that someone wants to sell.
