110L Savage Mfg. Date??

[bisley3840]

I have what I believe to be an early 110 left hand .270 Win. It has a walnut stock w/cut checkering and nice blueing and has an aluminum butt plate.  It is very accurate and one of my favorite rifles. It has the Chicopee Falls Mass marking. I have been unable to find the Mfg. date. The s/n is 28XXX. Anyone have any info??? Thanks.

I have the 110G in 300 Win Mag. I've replaced the barrel twice but the action is 110G. I bought it in the early 80s
Don't know if this helps any or not.

I discovered a web sight yesterday by accident that was very helpful and had lots of info. it is www.savageshooters.net
Mine was made in early 1960. Thanks for your input though.

The built in demand for left handed actions meant that Savage virtually dedicated the entire 1959 production to the southpaw. I bought a .243 when Kennedy was the President-elect and the gurus at Savage Shooters couldn't give me any info on my Serial no. I'll have to check it and I'll try to remember to post it later.
Here are a couple of points that may help you. Before '68 the pin holding the bolt head to the body is visible when the bolt is closed. The ejector is a projection in the magazine box, and there is a slot in the bolt head for it. The bolt nose recesses inside the barrel and the extractor wraps around the bolt nose.  There is no detent in the safety to tell you when the bolt is unlocked while the safety is still engaged.
