I don't know a 7J from a 7A, B or C, it's just what I read. I have found out that the Coast to Coast 285 is a Savage 7 and that the 7 evolved through several different models (including tube and clip fed actions) to become the last version with a tang safety. The 285 I came across looks brand new and is dovetailed for rings. I know where it will show up next and may take another look. My primary concern is how well it feeds, or jams, depending on your perspective.
