Went and picked up a new (to me) savage 110 yesterday. Turned out to be a serious odd ball
First thing I noticed was the receiver has a really weird cut out near the lugs
Second is that the bases aren't screwed on. they are brazed on
After some head scratching and some googling, it looks like this was an experiment savage did in the late 80s-early 90s. I've only been able to find 1 or 2 other examples on the internet of these oddballs
The good thing is that the relief cut doesn't expose any more of the bolt then a normal 110, and the far side, that isn't shown here, actually has MORE meat on it than a normal 110.
Any one else have one of these weirdos?
