Which 110 is it?

Ok guys, so Im knda new to savages and consider myself a newbie when it comes to them. Im trying to build my 110 30-06 into my ideal hunting rifle. Problem I am having is Im not sure of the specs of my rifle. Round reciever, staggered feed, sporter, etc. SO the rifle was bought off a guy that said it was from the 90s he thought. It is a 110 (all it says on the barrel) synthetic stock with a Weaver CV9 3x9 on top. Im trying to upgrade everything on top along with a few other things. In searching for a mount , apperently there are 2 types of recievers, round and ? I didnt know the 110s came with a synthetic stock. Anyone think this was a package deal from the 90s? Im just tyring to find out exactly what Im working with so I will know what will fit on my rifle. Serial # is F015xxx if that helps. Any info on this rifle would be appreciated. Thanks!! By the way, ithis rifle is a straight shooter for sure but kicks like a mule!!

"F" prefix with a serial number lower than F498821 = 1989 thru Nov. 1st, 1995

Your 110 was made prior to Savage being bought by the present day owners in 1995.

BTW, stick with 150gr ammo. Anything more than that will kick pretty good. For instance, the diff in recoil between 150gr and 165gr ammo is night and day.

A 110 in 30-06 made prior to '95 will be a Staggerfeed magazine, should be a flat rear (look where the rear scope base is mounted, its either flat or round). Most likely has a "sporter" barrel as that is the most common.

A better recoil pad will help loads with the recoil. Next step for me would be to have a muzzle break installed.

I agree, I shot both and the 150s were a lot easier to shoot. After about 60 rounds tho, my shoulder was hamburger!

Been thinking that would be a good investment. Any reccomondations on a better recoil pad or maybe a de-cellerator?

I have a couple of Decelerator pads on Savages that I have put into B&C Duramaxx stocks and they seem to work well enough. I know some people will call me crazy, but the P.A.D. that came factory on many Savages as of lately seemed to work the best on knocking down sharp recoil on a 458 Win Mag I had. Tried the factory thin rubber pad, then a decelerator, then a P.A.D. and the P.A.D. won against my shoulder.

I picked up my last P.A.D. on a take off stock I grabbed up in the "Paid Member Classifeds" section here.

I would be curious myself if your 30-06 originally came with the plastic stock.

That seems to be a missing poece to the puzzle. I thoougt the older 110s came with the wood stock

My older 110 has a wooden stock, I believe it was a 110E, I would have to dig out the old 30-06 barrel to check for sure though as it is now been re-barreled to a 458 win Mag.
