Hi I am new to the forum site so please forgive me if I am asking a question I should know the answer to. I have just purchased a Savage 110L in 243 it is in remarkably good condition and I just need to know if I can date the year of manufacture by the serial number. Serial number is 29907.

By looking at the rifle I would suggest it would not have had more than a maybe a dozen so rounds through it. Though it is not in mint condition it better than very good. Is this rifle worth keeping and re- barreling or would I be better to pass it on to someone who would value it as collecting piece?

Thanks Wahbi
