Alright here goes. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I bought this as part of a 2 gun deal, from a guy who inherited from his dad. I was really there for the other gun, but after I handled the Savage I knew I wanted them both. Looks clean but who knows till I can shoot it...
I'm in So California, and waiting on this 110L (yeah lefty, this will be the first left handed gun I have ever owned) to wind it's way through California logistics. I will pick it up in 7 days or so. Also my first .243 Win. Looking around, I think the twist is 1:9.25, but can't find the history/chart/catalog where I saw that.
I have 1 box of 100 gr Sellier Belloit 100gr ammo (at $40 but so it goes...), and so far have acquired a box of Sierra 100gr (ProHunter #1540) bullets. I want to shoot this gun and have some appropriate fun, so...
1. Are the 100 grainers I have going to shoot ok in this? I have some Varget... If not, what weight range should I start the hunt for? The lighter bullets seem to need a faster twist? Is there a sweet spot range? Lighter bullets state need for faster twist? What about bullet weight range recommended for this gun/twist rate?
3. To those who know, does this look like a factory trigger? Hard to find images of the early 110s.
4. Looks like an early 110L from what I see here on Savage Shooters. Thinking 1960-62ish? I only have a few more pics, and can't really go grab it for more photos till I pick it up.
Thanks hoping to learn alot on this gun.
