Would anyone have anything on this rifle, possibly the age, time frame, would this make a possible old find, or one of a kind? Did Savage make this?, also had Savage scope rings with too. Any information would be great.

One of these?


Out of the wrapper....


From the S/N someone here said it was made in '88. Fully adjustable trigger, standard old style blind mag and etc. Other than the soldered on mounts its a run of the mill early 110 LA. That one I bought from a guy on another site, $150 new, unfired. He got it in lieu of cash from the original owner who bought it new but never put round one through it.

Are they any good? Yes and no. For a shooter as is there's not a thing wrong with them. While I owned it had both a 270W and 280R barrel on it. When I sold it I put a new unfired take off '06 on it for the guy. AFAIK he still shoots and hunts with it. On the downside the receiver would need to be drilled-tapped for mounts if they were to be changed.

With that said if you're looking for a donor action I'd pass. If you want it for a just for a shooter it would be fine provided the price is right.
