    I've seen that and most had a detachable box mag too this particular one doesn't. The barrel is stamped 110 H
    Not a clue what that really means

    In savage nomenclature.
    H was for Hinged floor plate.
    C was for Clip(detachable box magazine)

    What does the bolt head look like?

    There never was a "110H". That's Savage confusion speak for "Model 110 Series H". Same as there was never a Model 110J, but we see plenty of factory barrels stamped that way. The Series letter just referred to small parts changes over the years and was used by the factory to make sure they used the right version of those changed parts if it ever came back for warranty work. And before you ask, no - nobody has a clue what series letters indicate what parts were changed or what years they're associated with or anything else. Info on the Series letters is a big black hole.

    Interesting that the stock is the same style used on the 110P and 110 PE's made from 1966-1970. Should be stamped "Sile of Italy" inside the barrel channel as that's who made them. Every other CIL 950 I've seen was the 950T Target model which had a heavy barrel and target style stock like the one pictured here:

    As for the barrel and caliber, clearly it's a factory barrel and the stamping appears to be properly oriented so I would have no reason to believe it wasn't original to the rifle. The .22-250 cartridge was standardized by Remington in 1965 and Savage started offering it in their rifles in 1966. Your barrel doesn't have the "barrel bump" for the rear sight like those made from 1958-1965 so it's clearly a 1966 or newer and therefore could be a factory 22-250 from the latter half of the 1960's.

    What's the serial number start with? (i.e. 12345XX)
