I know I should know this since it is my rifle, but I dont.
I have a 243 and a 7mm mag
Is the 243 a short action and the 7mm mag a long action?
I have been struggling with this for awhile now. I would like to get a new stock for my 243 and now choates does not have a short action in the savage 110...
Can someone give me a definite answer please!

psycho,
This is from the owner of Savage Shooters Forum: Measure the distance between the action screws.
Long action = 5.062
"J" or intermediate action = 4.522
Short action = 4.275
(All in inches)
Let me know how you make out with it, but if I were betting, my money would be on the "J" intermediate action.

OK, I went and pulled out my rifles... I dont see any action screws... WTF?
where the heck do I measure from... I even pulled the bolt out and nothing even closely resembles those measurements or screws
I am even more confused

I am thinking it is the screws under the stock that hold the action and barrel in.....Just a guess.

OK I have 3 screws under the stock.. It is the main one for the stock to barrel and 2 around the trigger... I got a meas of just over 5" from the stock-barrel screw and the next screw towards the trigger... I guess its a long action?  |

psycho,
Congratulations! Your now the proud owner of a Savage 110 long action. They have quite a few stocks available for them. One other issue you might come across is the magazine. Is it a blind magazine with no opening on the bottom of the stock, does it have a floorplate that opens to allow you to dump out the un-fired ammunition, or does it have a removable magazine? That factor will make a big difference in your options.

its just a blind magazine

Your in luck, the blind magazines are the easiest to find aftermarket stocks for. There are lots of manufacturers of both wood and synthetic stocks for that rifle.
