i collect Savages. It all started with my model 67 slug gun and it's unbeleivable accuracy. My first rifle was a 110 in 30 06 which I've since converted to 35 whelen. I purchased a second in 30 06 for my son used for 200.00 since he didn't like the recoil of the whelen. Both of these 110's will shoot 1" groups all day long. I've since noticed that some older models for sale have a hinged floor plate and a buldge where the dovetail is cut for the rear sight. Stocks are walnut with hand cut checkering. The fit and finish on these guns looks great. I want one from 1958 when they were introduced and was wondering if anybody knew the highest serial # that I should be looking for? I also noticed that some of these older models sport a 99 style check whereas others have a monte carlo. Were the m.c. later production or better model. Where can I get this info? Thanks
