That sounds so appealing doesn't it? Isn't that how Leupold is making their two piece bases now?

Leupold? Weaver maybe?

No, they've got a bit of a problem with (at least some of) the Leupolds cracking. Someone can chime in with details.

So that must have been a big step away from traditional forging methods.

Is it true, or only my ripening imagination, that the 110 series was conceived to compete with the Remington 721-722-700 bolt guns using similar technology? (If so, it worked. If not, it worked anyway.).

I'e always looked at the 110 as Savage's direct response the the manufacturing and marketing efforts of the 721/722/700 series.

The steel particles are heated welding-hot then mashed together.

Are there benefits to this over starting with a molten steel - which is my take on traditional forging methods.

That was always my take on them.

I suppose I'm the last Savage aficionado standing who doesn't care a whit for the 110 series. Sorry. I know they are strong, well made, accurate rifles but they just don't do anything for me. Perhaps it's been the way the bolt stops dead behind the handle with no bolt sleeve, leaving it look unfinished. Silly, or silly me.

I kind of wished Art had incorporated a visible hammer in the 1899 too. (Kidding!!)
