Savage model 16

[pikergolf]

For the purpose of upgrading my firing pin spring is the Savage model 16 interchangeable with a Savage 110 short action. It's a .234.

Isn't that technically a Savage 11, not a S/A 110 ?

I would speculate that the answer is yes...

Wolff the spring manufacturer calls them 110 long and short action?

I'm pretty sure they're the same, Savages designation for long & short actions simply deletes the zero on the end for short-action models.

IE; model 11 = S/A , model 110 = L/A

Um,not quite. What about Models 10/110,11/111,12,14/114,16/116.
Anyway,mind if I ask why you're wanting to change to a Wolff ?
The heavier load rated Wolff's spring will increase your bolt lift and perhaps your trigger pull weight also ,I'm thinking.
To answer your question though ,yes I believe the 110 short is the correct spring.

The lock time on this gun is noticeably slower than on my Tikka, I want to reduce the lock time and hopefully increase accuracy.

It's the one on the front that gets dropped, not the zero on the end.

You disassembled,inspected and cleaned the bolt parts to make sure there's no burr's or gunk interfering with the pin or spring?
Increasing spring load rate can result in better primer strikes and quicker lock time,I'm not sure about accuracy improvements. Wolff springs are excellent,at the very least you'll probably end up with more consistent performance as far as the spring action is concerned.
If you install the Wolff keep us posted,I'm curious of the results.

Um,not quite,
AFAIK, there are also SA models 110,
and 11 (which either drop the trailing zero of a model 110, or initial or trailing 1 of a model 111),
and model 12 (for which (AFAIK) there is no corresponding LA model 120).

FYI for trivia fans, the original Savage was called model 110 because it was designed to sell in 1958 for $110, (AFAIK, it actually sold for 109.75, (and may have been discounted lower)).

Good Luck, YMMV
