Hello everyone. I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I am a new member and am hoping to learn more about these guns.

I picked up this 110 through a trade a few days ago and I was hoping you might tell me more about it, as it is my first Savage.

I have not fired it yet.

Caliber: 7mm Rem. Mag.
It is an all stainless variant, in decent shape I suppose. The wood is beat up a bit and the finish is peeling away near the butt. (I intend to refinish the stock).
There is some very minor surface rust around the action which I think can be cleaned up when I take it all apart.
Bolt has quite a bit of play when open, but operates smoothly and locks up tight.
Trigger has some play to it from side to side.
Bore looks good, rifling is in good shape.
It had dovetailed iron sights at one point, but have been removed.




From my guess, this 110 is from the mid to late 1960's? Serial number is five digits, 42xxx. Barrel has stampings/proof marks with 9p, sp, and 29p.

I know Savages are good, inexpensive, accurate rifles but they are plentiful, so is there anything particular about this model I should be aware of before I strip it down?

Thanks!
