New guy with Model 111 question

[DeaconKC]

Hello, new guy here, but long time shooter. Just picked up a clean 1994 Model 111 in .270 to go under a Leupold scope I had. Bore is great but the factory stock is pretty drab. Blind magazine and has factory iron sights on it. Anyway, if it shoots up to Savage's reputation. I might want to put a new, nicer stock on it. Are the 110s and 111s built to the same specs for looking for one? And any other 111 tips are appreciated.

Yes, the 110 & 111 use the same Action. All parts are interchangeable. The Numeric labeling from Savage, being 110-116 was to distinguish characteristics differences: barrel contours, finishes, stocks, sights, magazines, etc. Essentially they are the same. What you need to be aware of for a stock or barrel change, etc., is the rifle’s Shank size, & if it’s Stagger or Center feed.

If date of manufacture is 1994 it will be stagger feed, center feed was not introduced until 2004.

Stockys has Classic Sporter stocks on sale, disregard, 4.4" short action only. :-(
