We all know that variety is a good thing, but I think Savage Arms has taken it a bit to the extreme the last few decades.

Over the course of roughly 18-20 hours in the past two days I went through all 57 Savage Arms catalogs (54 actually as I'm missing 1964, 1984 and 1986) making two all-encompassing spreadsheets on Savage 110-series firearms. The first is a complete list of each and every cataloged model they have ever made and what years they were offered. The second is a complete list of each and every cartridge they chambered 110's in and what years those cartridges were offered.

Regarding the number of models being offered, here's a startling realization regarding the number of variants offered over the years.

1958-1988 = 42 different models
1989-1998 = 84 different models
1999-2008 = 163 different models
2009-present = 150 different models

Regarding cartridges...

1958-1988 = 15 cartridges
1989-1998 = 17 cartridges
1999-2008 = 28 cartridges
2009-present = 27 cartridges
