Hello all,

I recently purchased my first rifle, a savage 110 in a 30-06, synthetic black stock. My old man started hinting at wanting to go target shoot with eventual plans to hunt a few years back (after 40+ years of not touching a firearm, post Vietnam). We went to a few local spots and found a used 110 with a bushnell scope for 300 bucks. I'd like to get a recoil pad for it but am having trouble identifying the date of manufacture. I've emailed the sticky thread guy but its been a few weeks with no reply. Assuming the first letter of the serial number is in chronological order its before 2005 as the post mentions G444xxxx = 2005 and mine is F44306.

What I've found online for recoil pads are pre 1996 or not otherwise mentioned at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hex
