Anyone here running one of these? 5 lbs!

Doesn't make sense to use the 110 action chambered in .308 to make a lightweight rifle. The 110 action is a long action, ain't it?

It's Savage.

a lot of times they do that. the 770" are long action and available in short action calibers... seems like the Marines did something similar with their m24 snipers.. they used a long action for 7.62x51 but they could rechamber into 7.62x63. build one solid action and chamber it how you want.. kinda like a trailer...on a car trailer you can carry a 5 gallon bucket. but you cant put a car on a 5 gallon bucket trailer...

The Army had the M24, not the Marine Corps. The Corps had the M40 series of rifles, which were on a Remington 700 short action.

I believe you are correct from what I find on Google. I think Remington did the same thing with the model 7400. I have one in 270 but the same length action will also accept a magazine with a rear partition so the rifle can be used with short action cartridges if it has the proper barrel chamber. I have a 7400 SA magazine I’m about to send to Gun parts corp, to see what they’ll give me for it.

Yep. All the Remington 760/7600/742/7400 rifles had the same "long" action, regardless of the caliber.

Savage makes both long and short actions labeled 110.

Another case of Savage cutting corners and messing up customers, then.

Yeah, I think they’ve gotten away from the 10/110 nomenclature and they’re now all 110s. I have a Hog Hunter 308 marked 110.
