Savage 110. What do I have here?

I acquired this rifle today and it was it pretty bad shape so I took it apart and cleaned and adjusted things for it to function correctly but I’ve never seen one quite like it so can someone here please tell me what model I have here. It’s a 25-06 (which is my favorite caliber) and has a big bolt handle. The barrel is heavy and spiral fluted (this is what is idd to me) it has the old style plastic stock and an Accutrigger. Any help would be welcome. http://www.savageshooters.com/blob:h...4-8f4f723b25ca

http://www.savageshooters.com/blob:h...f-f289587f0840

Picture would help. Both the bolt handle & spiral fluted barrel could be aftermarket. (And sounds like it is) Is it a Top Bolt Release, (TBR)? The only factory 110 I’ve known with a Spiral fluted barrel was the 110 High Country. But it wasn’t available in 25-06 and also came in a like Green/Brown Cerakote.

We really need pictures. Use https://imgbb.com/ Upload your picture and once done, click the photo. Then copy the BBCode link & paste it in your response.

Spiral fluted barrel is most likely aftermarket.
I have a 110FP in 25-06 from the late 90s early 2000s that came with a heavy barrel, oversized bolt handle, and old style pillar bedded synthetic stock.
Could very well be one somebody built the way they wanted as the majority of Model 110 parts are interchangable and even more so in that time period.

If it is a Savage barrel it will be stamped on the side Mine have the chambering and model number.

The P in FP does not mean it was made for a police department. It was just a configuration description. Like calling a model "Tactical" or "Scout".

Think you meant to respond in this thread with that last part. https://www.savageshooters.com/showt...cal-feed-issue

Although, according to this article, P can mean Police. Though I don’t believe it does in FP as you stated. https://www.savageshooters.com/conte...?262-Savage...

Thanks Dave. I got cross threaded :)

Figured… done the same thing time or twelve!

Its. Savage stamped barrel. It’s in 25-06 and it appears to be stock.(other than the fluting) it’s 4 flutes 1/4 twist on the barrel. I can’t seem to get the photo option to work. It’ll shoot an inch with American Whitetail ammo so I’m sure it’ll do well under with better ammo.

Don't know if it helps but:
My 2008 10 FP was a Law Enforcement model with an internal mag.
My 2010 10 FCP-K was a Law Enforcement model with a detachable mag (the C designator) and a muzzle brake (the K designator).
I always assumed that the P designator stood for Police.
The F designator was used on a wide variety of model 10 and Model 110s at the time so I don't know what it might have designated.

Fixed it. Need to use the BBCode link.

Man! I’ve never seen one of those. Maybe a proprietary sold through one of the chain stores, I’m thinking. Hopefully Jim sees this. He probably knows by sight. Shoot, he likely has the ADD for them from wherever they were sold, LOL! Or, custom work? The Bolt Handle looks like older model. And maybe those flutes were machined after?

Oh and of course the stock was solid black. The camo is my handy work lol.

In the first pic the bluing on the barrel is different where the fluting starts. Almost like it was a redone after the factory barrel was fluted.
The bolthandle and the barrel fluting do not look like anything factory I have ever seen. For that reason it looks to me like a factory 110FP that had the custom work done to it by an unknown gunsmith. Pretty much exactly what BHJ’s thoughts were in his earlier post.

The bluing unfortunately isn’t in good shape and looks like there may be what looks like black paint on the barrel.

Oh shoot! I didn’t even look that close at first. That sure enough looks like paint! Did you happen to paint it? I’m definitely gonna say this is a custom build. Aftermarket barrel fluting. And I think that’s a PTG Bolt Handle! Tell me if it looks the same?

PTG Bolt Handle

It’s not quite the same. It’s a “G” serial number if that helps any.

https://ibb.co/wCzhgZF

Ahh, yeah, that’s a better picture of it. Well, it’s still definitely an aftermarket Bolt Handle.

It’s more like a Stockade Bolt Handle. But not quite it either. http://www.stockadegunstocks.com/res...dles_large.jpg

Hopefully someone that knows more will see this thread.

Pretty certain what we are telling you is correct. It’s aftermarket barrel fluting. And definitely an aftermarket Bolt Handle.

I can tell you it was made between 2001-2009. Look at this chart & you can zero it down to the exact year.

And I agree with pdog, it looks like a model 110FP.

If the 10FP has an accutrigger that’ll be the one. I think this is the culprit

It’s not a 10 cause that would be a short action. Your gun would be a 110.
Older models had 2 digit model for SA and 3 digit for LA. Most of the new models are 3 digit regardless of SA/LA. savage has always been good at keeping people guessing

Yes, 110FP. Like the picture. That’s definitely it. Whoever owned it in the past just did the barrel fluting and got that bolt handle.

My short action 10 FP .308 (2008) has an Accu-trigger without a fluted barrel with a top bolt release and a standard factory bolt handle.
My short action 10 FCP-K .308 {2010} also has an Accu-trigger with a straight fluted barrel and a top bolt release and a standard factory bolt handle.

I agree it is a 110 FP with an aftermarket barrel and bolt handle.

Savage only did the straight fluting and that really tight twisted fluting of the Highcountry.

I wish it was a tad bit lighter because I love 25-06 for hunting and I don’t do much hunting in a blind s it’ll be slung on my shoulder. As good as the thing shoots I don’t think I’ll mind the weight too much when I’m squeezing that trigger on a buck.

Do a lightweight 25-06 on your next barrel change. There are a plethora of choices. And of course, barrels are consumables.

There is a chart with the old letter designation codes for the 10/110 series around here on the site somewhere.
And yes the P designation was for law enforcement rifles. Except when used in conjunction with and X as in XP which were
basically economy package guns with an inexpensive scope. The F was the designtion for synthetic stocks B was laminated. The C was detachable box, AK was adjustable brake, L was a lefty. Those are off the top of my head and there were a few others.
Sporters in 25-06 are much easier to find than the long heavy tubes. The 110FPs in 25-06 arent quite a prevalent as most other chamberings. If i re.ember right in the 1990s there were also some long action FPs in .300Win, 30-06 and .270 though most were .223 or .308.
They even offered an FP law enforcement package that came in a Pelican case with a Harris bipod and a Leupold scope and mounts.
I havent seen one of those complete package setups in quite a few years and if I remember right they sold for about $600 new.
If you want a 25-06 to hunt with Id suggest finding an F or G serial numbered ( those are my personal favorites) 111 in a synthetic stock and blind mag and tune that rascal up. Then load it with some 110gr accubonds and hunt.
The FPs with their length weight and bulk are a real chore even in a box stand.
Found a # and letter designation post so heres a link. Keep in mind that " Current" was as of the posting date and I dont think reflects as of today but is useful for the pre return to everything being 110 as it is now.

I missed the link to the # and letter designation page in post 6. Knew it was still around Somewhere and now " Shazam"twice in one thread. :)

And two times is better than one! LOL! Because it’s TWICE as much! :stupid:

Barrel fluting is definitely not Savage, nor is the bolt handle. On the barrel fluting, that looks like some amateur's guinea pig for learning to do spiral fluting as the flutes are soo narrow and shallow they're not doing the one thing they're meant to do - shave off weight.
