Starting to get back into things again after a several year hiatus. Some recent reading here made me wonder about the 110 (30.06) my Dad gave me. I know he got it from a neighbor in trade for some automotive work and that had to be between '67 and '69. This was the first high powered rifle I ever shot.
I pulled the rifle out and confirmed it has a 4-digit serial number, 1071, and the barrel stamp is 16I not J.
Receiver and bolt match.
All original including the metal butt plate as seen here.
Stock is in decent condition and shows what I'd consider normal wear and tear for a working rifle.
I remember mounting a scope on it during my late teens, a B&L Balvor 2.5 - 8 (now on my 110E in 7RM). I still have the front sight stored away. Sling studs were added by my uncle after I left home for a career in the USAF. I pestered my dad for years to sell this rifle to me but he always refused and never told me why.
On a whim, sometime between 1990 - 1992 he retrieved it from his brother, gave it to me, and told me he wanted me to have it.
Haven't seen any 110s here with a lower serial number nor one with an "I" barrel stamp so thought some may be interested in seeing this.
