Update for future newbies...Serial # E972###. Rifle made in 1989. Savage filed for bankruptcy in 1988, and cut production down to only their most basic 110 models. My E972### rifle definitely fits that description...plain birch stock, blind magazine, no knurling on bolt handle, plastic trigger guard, round back receiver with soldered two piece scope mounts, slotted bolt knob, barrel not drilled for open sights (before this was the norm). From what I can tell though, a pretty basic but solid deer rifle. This evidently is what kept the company afloat, and helped it reestablish itself in the 1990s.
Again, I thought I'd summarize a description of my rifle for future newbies with E serial number 110' as it really seems a bit difficult to find complete summaries instead of bits and pieces of info here and there. Thanks to everyone for their comments.
