Spacing of the 3 action mounting screws on LRPV and Palma - help please?

[1972]

I need some technical information on the spacing of the three action screws on two models of Savage rifle.

(1) Can anybody tell me what the exact spacing of the three action screws is on the Savage Model 12 LRPV Varmint Single Shot Left Port / Right Bolt

(2) Can anybody tell me what the exact spacing of the three action screws is on the Savage Model 12 Target Palma action.

It’s my understanding that up until recently these were different – but now they are the same. I heard the spacing of the three action screws on the LRPV rifles was changed to be the same as the spacing of the three action screws on the Palma action.

Does anybody have, or know where I can get precise information on what these measurements were – or are?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I see you are not getting too many responses. You may want to call H-S Precision and ask them about dimensions. I understand they make most of the synthetic stocks on the Savages, and someone there should know the spacing.

Another option would be to e-mail Fred Moreo at Sharp Shooters Supply.

And even Savage may try to answer the question.

Not sure if you got the answer you wanted but...

Notice of new action screw spacing
With the introduction of the new Dual Port bench rest rifle and the Model 12 Palma match rifle, the action screw spacing has once again been changed. The center screw remains the same as the target actions and the LRPV, but the front and rear screws have been moved towards the center to take advantage of more thread contact. Eventually all of the target style receivers will utilize this new spacing. Make sure to measure your spacing before ordering stocks.

This is from Savage Shooters.

I recently talked to savage custom shop about this and here is what they told me. the single shot lrpv and the F class are the same spacing but are not the same as the benchrest and palma. i have a lrpv and was inquiring to see if i could put a palma stock on it, they stated they were not the same... hope this helps.
