    Older than Many


    Decided to pull an old, but excellent shooting rifle out of storage and see if I could make her shoot again.
    Lost all my old load data, so starting from scratch.
    110L 1959 Chicopee Falls .243 Winchester, Left Handed.
    Hasn't been shot a lot in it's over 60 years of existence. Maybe 350 - 400 rounds. Should still have a good bit of life left in it.

    Oh wow! Very cool. You'll have some friends here for sure! I like all Savages, but I do favor my "newer" 10 Actions with Accutriggers, to build modern Chassis rifles from. However, there are quite a few here that prefer the pre '66 110's with a passion! Welcome my friend.

    Welcome to the forums. Old rifles are interesting. I have a Mauser Model 91 in 7X57 I bought back in 1972 for $60. Rifle produced by DWM-Berlin in 1894. Rifle had been sporterized with barrel cut to 20 inches, full Mannlicher stock, drilled and tapped for scope. Still a great shooter.

    Welcome.

    1959 is a good vintage. Xerox Copiers, Molson Canadian . . . and me!
