I know this is supposed to be for collectible firearms but I figured the folks who hang out on this page are in the know. My question is are the savage 338 lapua action and the 111 or 110 the same action and if so is the barrel nut the same? Also with the 338 lapua rifles from savage is the only difference in the stock and the one muzzle brake? Rephrased, are the barrelled actions the same on all three?

I don't believe they are the same. The standard 110 actions have 1.055" thread diameter (small shank) I believe the 338 mag is 1.120" thread diameter (large shank)

here's some info from SavageShooters forum;
"These are quotes from savage gunsmith Fred Moreo. I realize that what you are doing is different than going fullbore 338 Lapua. Meant to be food for thought only.
Putting a .338 Lapua barrel on a standard shank action is dancing with the devil. It is not recommended ,nor encouraged. The Savage 110 BA in .338 Lapua uses a special built large shank action just for that caliber. ****!!!!
The 111 7 mag uses a standard shank barrel,(1.055") and has a large port. The 111 .338 Lapua uses a large shank barrel,(1.120") and has a small port receiver that has thicker lug abutments and thicker bolt lugs. The heat treat is also different. Using a standard shank receiver will result in case swelling, causing sticky bolt lift, not to mention lug set back. Even with a .338 Edge, I would recommend a large shank receiver"
