I have a 1961 savage 110, 30.06. How do you think it would compare to a new savage. Rifle is very accurate, great condition.I get 1/2 to 1/4 groups with her. Were they built better, than the new one's.Pro's and con's.

Less stamped metal parts in them and the checkering was hand cut, not machine pressed.
How do you know it's a 61? Just curious. Did you find a date code or does it have a serial number without a starting letter?
Yeah, It was my fathers rifle. He bought it brand new in Kliens dept store in N.Y.. I was with him.He saved for months to get a new rifle, I think it went for around a $100.00 then. I was 11 yrs old. Your right , the rifle feels solid.
