I'm surprise that if Savage made the intermediate length action 110s for 28 years, 1959-1987, why are they so uncommon?

I can only speculate but I think it has to do with the market Savage appealed to.
Savage was decidedly low end at this point and the casual hunters who liked the Savage price point also liked the cartridges with the deer camp popularity. Hence the 30-06, 270, 300WM and 7mm RM predominated among these buyers. The rifle looneys who appreciated the 243, 308 or the 358 gravitated towards Remingtons Winchesters or the various Mauser actioned rifles.
The 70's and early 80's were truly a very dark point in Savage history and I think their advertising and appeal suffered badly.
