savage 116wss
« on: June 05, 2008, 04:24:01 PM »
What can anyone tell me about a savage model 116wss that I just purchased from a dealer down in Alabama. It is a WSS and not FSS. It has a wooden stock in 300 win.mag.

B - Laminate Stock
BT - Laminated Thumbhole Stock
C - Clip (Detachable Box Magazine)
F - Synthetic Stock
G - Hardwood Stock
H - Hinged Floorplate
L - Left Hand
ML - Muzzleloader
NS - No Sights
P - Police
SS - Stainless Steel
T - (Rimfire) Peep Sights
V - Long-Range (Heavy Barrel)

No W. So i can't help you..........what's different about it? Could be a special run for one of the big distributors.

The only thing I can find different between this rifle and any other model 116 is the "W" in the model number. It seems the "W" would stand for wood, wich it is. Not a black synthetic like all other 116's.
