Hello all,

New member here and currently the owner of two Savage 110’s both in caliber .30-06 with integral scope mounts. However, the second rifle I just purchased appears to have bonded mounts instead of integral machined mounts (see pic's 1 and 2). Can anyone tell me more about these rifles? Did Savage machine mounts on the receivers for a while? Did they permanently bond mounts as well?

Picture #1, integral machined mounts:

Thanks in advance.
