I did, pretty sure there was a post here a year or so ago about someone else with one. Believe Fred commented on the topic and that may be where the info came from that none were supposed to have made it to the public.

EDIT: There's a FAQ topic about the cast 110s - https://www.savageshooters.com/conte...-They-Do-Exist!

They sure are Mike, those early 110s are nice shooters with smooth actions.

Isn't it amazing that some 60 years later and with all the advancements that have been made in machining and manufacturing technology, the early 110's are far superior to the current stuff coming out of Savage. So much for progress. lol

That vintage 110 I worked on all last winter was smooth as butter and fed better than any rifle I've ever owned except perhaps my Tikkas. Those are sweet actions alright.

I got all stupid and was going to re-barrel my early 110L .30-06 with a varmint 6mm.
The more I thought about how graceful that featherweight .30-06 barrel is, the less I want to ruin the whole package!
Looks like my .270 Interarms MarkX gets the nod.

Mine had that featherweight '06 barrel with the rear sight bulge. Very classy and very light. Handled like a dream. Too bad it was shot out.
