Savage 110 in .223

[Lost Okie]

   Looking at used 110 w/walnut stock, no accutrigger, tasco scope aking $300. 
My question is it has a Blind mag and a spacer approx 1.5 inches long at the back so round
loads toward the front of mag area ??

The rifle was made before Savage came out with the short action model 10. So, in the case of the 223, you actually have a long action rifle, but there's a spacer so that it uses a 223-length internal magazine and there's an extension on the bolt's baffle so that the bolt only travels rearward enough for the 223 cartridge.

Personally, I wouldn't give that asking price though, as there's several places where you can get a new Savage with AccuTrigger for around $350. If the seller would drop the price another $50, then it might be worth it.

I would agree. The rifle will need a new trigger, which is easy to install, but not cheap. Savage rifles, pre accu trigger, had BAD triggers. Good shooters and the varmint/target rifles were and are excellent. That 223 should be a good shooter with some tuning. I'd pay $250, but no more.

you can do a whole lot better than that!  You can get a new .223 in a short action for less than $300 in the stevens 200 and if I recall correctly I have seen them on gunbroker as the model 10 with accutrigger for under $300 or right around that. 

It will work, but if you want a .223, getone with an action more in line with than cartridge.  No sense trying to get a 223 to feed out of the same action they use for a 300 wm.

i looked today at sportsmans warehouse and the stevens 200 (which is just a pre acutrigger 10 or 110 series) and it was 259 for the new rifle. you could buy that and put a new tasco scope on it for the same price. however, i would not use a tasco scope, at a minimum i would go with a bushnell banner

I wouldn't call them BAD but they are not as good as some.  Mine is adjustable and is very light, breaks clean.  They were adjustable on older Savages.

I paid $250 for mine used and that was high for a used Savage.

I agree with the rest of the posts, gut a new Stevens.

the trigger on the stevens is adjustable too if i am not mistaken
