Savage Model 10 LE

[CGRifleman]

I just bought a new Savage Model 10 in .308. This is my first Savage, so I need help with a few things.
First, what model exactly is this? It looks like a 10 PC but it the barrel isn't threaded and it has the extended bolt knob. It doesn't exactly match any of the models listed on Savage's website.
Also, when looking at aftermarket stocks I noticed some were listed as 4.275" spacing and some were 4.4" spacing. What does this refer to, and where can I measure mine to see which it is?
Thank you all for your time.

Measure between the front hex-head trigger housing bolt and the hex-head bolt attached to the barrel.

I ran into a good deal on just the model 10. I couldn't pass it up, because the sale included 375 rounds of ammo. The standard stock was a POS, I added a new stock from combatstocks dot com. Choate TACTICAL Stock for Savage Short Action Centerfeed Only

It has the detachable mag system, so there is no hex-head bolt in the front of the trigger housing. Also do I measure from the OD of the bolts or from the center?

 

[CaptHank]

Yes, center to center. So there isn't a hex-head holding the trigger housing to the stock?

 

[CaptHank]

What is holding the trigger guard to the stock? Should be a hex-head bolt.

 

[CGRifleman]

There is a hex-head bolt behind the trigger, but not in front of it. The only one in front is the one under the barrel.

 

[CaptHank]

Measure between the two hex-head bolts. They bolt the stock to the barrel.

Measured it and it came out to 7-5/16"... I think I'm missing something here.

Time to get out the manual. That will show an exploded view of the mounting bolts.

 

[CGRifleman]

Got it. It's the 4.40" version. The hex bolt was under the bolt release tab so I missed it the first time I looked at the manual.
Thank you for your patience, CaptHank.

No problem..... glad that you got it sorted out.
