1959 110L Complete Set

I was finally able to acquire a .308 Win 110L from 1959 to complete my set of all four calibers from the first year of 110L production. I posted previously on the acquisitions at: 1958, 1959, 1963

Since then the .243 with the J date code went down to one brother and my other brother got a UP 8 point a couple seasons ago with the 30-06. As soon as the range opens back up I'll take them all out for a stretch. I've also got a 99F in 308 with a 1959 date code on the lever.

Top to bottom: 243, 308, 270, 30-06

Id say the top one is an El paso Weaver maybe 2.5 x which could be original from the day.
Third down could be a Redfield but not positive, and also of that era.
But i dont think the others are.
I had a lefty premier grade 110 in 06 with a B&L Balvar 2.5x8 scope. My first bolt action rifle, thanks to Savage.
That model only came in 06, 270, and 7 Rem mag.

243: Weaver K3 60-B
308: Leupold M8 4x
270: Weaver K4 (the ring is covering the markings and it shoots like a laser so I haven't pulled off the ring to look)
30-06: Leupold M8 4x

Put the same B&L on my first year 110 as well. Still have both.

I’ve never been a collector. But that is pretty cool, I must say.

Nice! Now just remember to PM me for my personal information so you can leave them to me in your will. We lefties have to stick together you know! :thumb:

Notice how much better the wood was in the early years before Savage started to cut costs. I have a left hand first gen 243W that was given me by my late neighbor's sister after he passed and a first gen that was rebarreled to .25-06 that I bought back in the eighties. These rifles are not candidates for barrel swapping, but I am happy to leave them as they are.

Agreed. I love my '59 and IMO these are some of the finest looking rifles ever made.

Great collection!
