I have a 112 J in 220 Swift. I think it was made in the late 60's. Don't see too much about this one. Single shot varmint.
No, what you have is a 112 V Series J that was made from 1975-1978. That was the first model Savage ever offered the .220 Swift in. After 1978 Savage didn't chamber any 110's for the Swift again until 1993.
I have an article that will be published at 7am EST this Friday (Feb. 8th) that lists all the cartridges offered in the Model 110's from 1958-1999, the years they were offered, and what twist rates were used during what years.
Hi, l'm new here, have just purchased a Stevens model 110e in 243, serial number 13013X, would you be able to tell me approximately when this rifle was manufactured, it & l am in Queensland, Australia, & joined this group in the hope of learning more about the said rifle and to find out what would be the best upgrades l can do on a budget, regards, turtle.
I'm a left handed shooter and have chosen Savage as my preferred brand in bolt guns because they seem to be the most interested in producing left handed offerings, plus the other quality features they offer in all their right hand rifles. I'm interested in picking up a nice wood stocked 110CL or 110DL but would like one in .308. I think they did produce some in .308 at different times but were spotty. I've notice a number of the 110CL and110DL in 30-06 and will settle for one of those if I need to. If anybody can provide any info on their .308 production back in those years it would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
I have a 110CLD, the D was struck later on and is not aligned perfectly with the other letters. It is not clip fed but uses a bottomless clip inserted where a clip would go but uses the earlier 110L bottom metal and the later post 66 trigger. its kind of like they used whatever parts they could find. I have never seen a 110CLD mentioned in any literature and only know of one other person from this site who has one. Neither of us can figure out what the D means.
New to this, but need a date of manufacture for a Savage Mod 110, ser#29020; Rifle says it was made in Chiccopee, Mass.
Look for the oval barrel stamp containing 2 digits and a letter, the letter will ID the year. With a 5-digit serial number and Chiccopee Falls, Mass yours is probably 1958 ("J") or 1959 ("K").
Hello, I'm wondering about the transition of the 110 model manufacturing from Chicopee to Westfield. The early 110's ('58, '59) have 4-digit serial numbers, the featherweight barrels, and deep-set bolt face, and all examples I've seen have Chicopee address stamped on the side of the receiver. Westfield mfg have the address on the barrel.
When 110 mfg started in Westfield ('60-'61?), it appears that's when they eliminated the protruding bolt face and the featherweight barrels that received them (?).
I have an early 110 in 22-250, 4.5" short action with DBM, it seemed to have no serial number, but there is an RD69xx number stamped at the rear end of the receiver, hidden by the bolt shroud. I was curious if this might be an R&D rifle made as part of the Westfield factory set-up for 110 mfg.
Actually, production on the 110 began in 1957 and the 4 digit serial numbers were mostly limited to those produced in '57 & '58. The shrouded bolt design carried through end of production in 1965 when Savage dropped that design and went to the traditional bolt/barrel arrangement still in use today. This why you'll read "pre" and "post" '66 when discussing the early 110s.
Savage moved to the Westfield, Mass facility in 1960. The s/n should be etched on your bolt, have you checked it?
The only reliable method of dating a pre-'66 110 is by the inspector's stamp on the barrel it left the factory with. This stamp is found on the barrel and will contain a 2-digit number (inspector's ID) and a letter. The letter will decode to the year of manufacture. This, of course, presumes the barrel is original.
EDIT TO ADD - The detachable box magazine was introduced in 1966 when Savage switched to the new style action. A copy of the 1966 Savage catalog can be seen here - https://www.savageshooters.com/conte...-Print-Catalog
Sorry if I’m posting redundant questions but for some reason I believe there’s something odd or special about the 110 that I have. Marked with 11j so made in 58, SN11111, and chambered in .308. I’m just wondering if there’s anything significant about this rifle or if it’s just a lucky serial number.
Prior to 1968 Savage 110 serial numbers started with "1" and, by a stroke of luck, yours happens to be the 11,111th 110 produced. Beyond that, not really anything odd or special about it.Quote:

I just inherited a 110 chambered in 30-06 that I am fairly certain is from 1962 (the barrel has 12N stamped on it) and it says model 110 on the barrel (no letter after 110). SN is 32981
Correct, chart with date codes is here - https://www.savageshooters.com/showt...mp-(1949-1969)Quote:

The primary reasons for that are 1) when the barrel is mated to an action they really have no clue what specific model it may end up being assembled into, and 2) because it's cheaper and more efficient to just have one generic "Model 110" roll stamp than it is to have numerous ones for the various different configurations that constantly have to be changed out.Quote:

The first one being the Lee-Metford in 1878. Then in 1895, the legendary Lee-Enfield. By the time Savage introduced a detachable magazine, many other rifles had been using the design for years & years. The Magazine was ONLY called a Clip by those who didn’t do research. And just as it was then, it’s STILL incorrect!
Way to go Dillwt!! Now you've done got Dave all worked up over proper terminology. I'm starting to think we need to get him one of those hemo gauges like Sheriff Buford T. Justice had in Smokey & the Bandit II. :pQuote:

I have a number of 110 rifles in short and long action. My first was a 243 110E that is one of the most accurate rifles I've ever seen. In our club rifle shoots, it never placed worse than third. It also did a neck shot on a whitetail at 400 yds. The magical load was Hornady 100 gr interloack over IMR-3031, and it could do no wrong. It is now a 22XC
