Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Early 110 chamberings

In the early rears of the 110 wondering the chamberings and rarity. Left hand as well just bought an early lh chambered in 270 wiin very light rifle..

So wikipedia says introduced in 30-06 and 270 left hand coming along 1959
Just have not seen to many early rifles in 270

I've got one in 270, but none of the real early 110's are that easy to find.

I have an early 110 with a date code of I (1957) in cal 30-06. My catalog is 1958 and in my 1957, there is no mention. In 1958 they do mention the .270 win.I am hoping the hand writing is legible.

The right side is what appearsas the first add I have found march 1958 american rifleman

Where is the date code located? I have one with no serrial number so maybe the code can date it?

Date code will be on the barrel.

Well no date code either. I was hoping that may put a timeline on the rifle. Pretty significant rifle in my opinion, the factory cut away.

Chris,

The code is on the barrel just ahead of the word "proof" on the left side.

Nice rifle , remember when you bought it. Have you had the opertunity to hunt with it yet?

Traditionally not a ton of interest in these I think that will change rapidly. On the used rack they catch my eye. When I return to the shop will have to see what the code is on the one I just purchased memory says the SN is less than 20,000

pics of my 1959 vintage 110 MCL, 308. serial #199xx I couldn't find the date code.

There was a pretty nice one of those for sale 2 years ago it went cheap with a DL etched into the barrel. I missed it sadly on a trip a 25th aniverary trip.
Have been looking ever since for a short action. Nice rifle.

The barrel nut has always turned me off. I think romac has a lefty that couls sit next to me and I would smile at her.

Yes, Chris. The year I bought it, 2009, it went to Anticosti and I killed a nice 8 pointer with it. The serial # on that one is 12XX. I really like it.

David, 19,9xx would be a 1959 production.

LBK, that is an early rifle (1957) as production started at 1000.

Best I can tell, 1958 production ran from around 2000 to about 16,000.

Savage 110 s/n 9840. 243 cal. date code 11J, what s/n did they start the 243 and 308? Don

I have;
#9546 in 308 (S/A 4.5" screw spacing)
#6781 30-06
#2310 270
#3585 270

These are all RH though
I didn't write down the date code for any of them

So the lefty I just picked up has a date code looks like 11K and serial number 19067

Is K 1959? Might make it close to the 58-59 cut off

Had a 110 LH in .264 Mag Or as it was marked 110L

No longer have rifle 264 Win Mag introduced in 1958 don't recall I saw many LH 110,s in 264 Win Mag?

K is 1959

I’ve got 110L’s with K date codes in 30-06, 270, 308, and 243 which is the first year of lefty production. I did have a 110L in 243 with a J date code but gave that to my brother.

I have a right hand 110 serial# 27xx 30-06.shoots nice mb
