hi all new member here, found this form on other forums trying to research my rifle. so anyways my father gave me this gun back in the early 80's, its a model 110, in .243 with a four digit serial number 99xx and I recently pulled it out of the safe to try to do some predator hunting with it. I wanted to put a new barrel on it because the tip has rust and pitting so I called savage to get the date of manufacture, it has a four digit serial number and they said that their records do not go back that far that I would have to call a savage historian. I thought I would try here first as there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people on here. I'm not sure on the action long or short thats why im here for help. I would like to learn about my rifle. If any body needs more info let me know and thanks for any and all help.
