Identifying a Model 110l

Honestly, with the old style bolt it would be worth less to most guys around here as they would have to change it over to the newer style to swap barrels on it. Basically you're looking at around a $300 rifle give or take $50 depending on condition. They just aren't collectable or desirable. That's still almost triple it's original selling price though as that's how the 110 got it's name...they sold for $110 when they were introduced in 1958/59.

I didn't think I had a "pot of gold" or anything but I guess it'd be nice to have in good condition.

As far as changing the bolt style, is it a matter of replacing the bolt head or the entire bolt?

Thanks for everyone's quick respsonse!!!!

Have to replace the entire bolt, and you'd have to change the barrel to a newer style at the same time so it's not a cheap endeavor.

I am in the same boat. I have a first generation 110L that was rebarreled to .25-06 before I bought it. Since that is my favorite deer caliber, i will not mess with this gun. I did adjust the trigger and float the barrel. Otherwise she is stock. I have other Savage actions to play around with, but this one stays as she is.

How did you adjust the trigger? Do you have a link to some instructions? I have a 1959 LH 110 in .308, and the trigger pull is ridiculously heavy. I've had the action out of the stock and saw some screw that look like adjustment screws, but I didn't want to start messing with things without knowing what each screw was first.
