I was finally able to acquire a .308 Win 110L from 1959 to complete my set of all four calibers from the first year of 110L production. I posted previously on the acquisitions at: 1958, 1959, 1963
Since then the .243 with the J date code went down to one brother and my other brother got a UP 8 point a couple seasons ago with the 30-06. As soon as the range opens back up I'll take them all out for a stretch. I've also got a 99F in 308 with a 1959 date code on the lever.
Top to bottom: 243, 308, 270, 30-06
Added picture of the roll marks:
I dunno...right arm on left side maybe?the bolt handle is on the wrong side!
It is nice. Lot's of history and stories there
Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.
Very nice collection!
What are the scope models from top to bottom?
Id say the top one is an El paso Weaver maybe 2.5 x which could be original from the day.
Third down could be a Redfield but not positive, and also of that era.
But i dont think the others are.
I had a lefty premier grade 110 in 06 with a B&L Balvar 2.5x8 scope. My first bolt action rifle, thanks to Savage.
That model only came in 06, 270, and 7 Rem mag.
I’ve never been a collector. But that is pretty cool, I must say.
Nice! Now just remember to PM me for my personal information so you can leave them to me in your will. We lefties have to stick together you know!

Notice how much better the wood was in the early years before Savage started to cut costs. I have a left hand first gen 243W that was given me by my late neighbor's sister after he passed and a first gen that was rebarreled to .25-06 that I bought back in the eighties. These rifles are not candidates for barrel swapping, but I am happy to leave them as they are.
Eye candy. Thanks for sharing your collection.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
