Another happy Savage owner!
Best $605 I have ever spent for a new rifle.
I'm no wizard or expert on anything but this clunky stocked and lumbering trigger are as much fun as you can have legally.
Plus the girls giggle hitting steel at 500 yards.
Another happy Savage owner!

Nothing wrong with that!
Those 110 tactical's are getting scarce these days, still one of my favorite models.
Dog will hunt, dog will hunt.
My 2000 .243 has a sporter barrel but it appears the same stock. My stock already had brass pillars. I also glass bedded it and added a cheek pad.
The way it's shooting now, I'd leave it alone! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

One of my other Savage rifles a 1942. I have a total of four now.
I handloaded for mine using Sierra 174 grain Match Kings and it would shoot a consistant inch at 100 yards.

#32 MkIII
The correct #34 MkII was in England having a chipped lens replaced when the photo was taken..
The 174g SMK is the name of the game.
Sometimes the 150g Game King SP with flat base is a good choice for older barrels ..
I would ask why stop. The average $45 #4 from a pickle barrel twenty years ago can run $450+ today.
I never looked at like an investment but having a bit of history. My old Savage 110's feel the same to me today.
I have enjoyed the You tube videos of the Savage assembly and production lines over and over. Especially the barrel making and trigger fitting.
Well worth the time to watch.
