Savage 110 dating

[Scott michaels]

Savage 110 in 30.06. serial number, No letter prefix, 41724. I cant seem to post a photo of any kind. the barrel is almost flush with the end of the stock and seems to be factory. The stock has a metal cap at the end as well and I have not seen this on any other savage photo of vintage Savages 110s. I have not shot the gun yet but the trigger seems very crisp, better than other high end rifles I own.

Didn't you already make a thread on this?

[Dave Hoback]

You did... you made this thread the “Vintage Savage” forum. https://www.savageshooters.com/showthread.php?69435-Savage-110

Why would make a whole new thread here?

Ahh, never mind. Phil told you to. I get it. Anyway, use that picture hosting site I linked. It helps a great deal to have a picture.

To date your 110, look at the barrel for an oval stamp with 2 digits and a letter. The 2 digits are the inspector's stamp and the letter denotes year of manufacture, for example, on mine, Savage 110 #71, "I" denotes 1957.

Here's the chart for early 110s...

1957 = I
1958 = J
1959 = K
1960 = M
1961 = N
1962 = O
1963 = P
1964 = Q
1965 = R
1966 = S
1967 = T
1968 = U*
