Savage 110 30-06 inquiry

[Catfish676]

Also, I think I have the answer to a more modern scope. I have a Leupold VX-1 3x9 40 (glossy finish) that is about a 2004 model. It has the older style glossy finish so I think it would preserve the period character of that rifle, while giving it the benefits of modern glass. Any thoughts? Is 3x9 40 enough for 30-06? Thanks.

That's a 110 deluxe. I was thinking those were from around late 60's-1970. Didn't Savage conspire with Anschutz on those? I would never destroy that weapon, sell it as is and find a suitable platform. I for one appreciate and rat hole early and unusual 110's and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Actually, it's a 110P or "Premier" that was made from 1964-1969. If you pull the barreled action out of the stock is should have "Sile of Italy" tamped in the barrel channel somewhere. Same stock that was used on the 110 PE (Premier Engraved). Following image is from the 1965 catalog.

I sure hope you didn't choose to replace the stock on this, or if you did that you were smart enough to keep the original stock safely stored away somewhere as this was one of the higher end models from the era and it's one of the more rare models so it does have some value if left in original condition.
