EZ Shooter, The serial number prefix for Savage in this case does not necessarily refer to the model of the gun, but is a date code. This gun was made mid-year of 1984

Thanks E-Z, it is nice to know the date of mfg., tho not overly crittle. I am more into Mausers than Savage, Had one in 06 many years ago and it was a great shooter, hope this 7mm mag. turns out the same way, thanks again. Dale Landan

The book's info is right as far as general info, but since Dale supplied the serial number I assumed he wanted more specific info. So much for assumptions.
Savage serial numbers run intermingled with all models coming off the assembly lines, so a model 99 may have had a consecative number to a model 110 or 24. Since I knew the date code from being a old Savage warranty station, I was able to pinpoint his request.
Sorry if it appreared that I questioned your response, just for clarification. In the future, I may refreain my responses if it creates problems.

LR, Please don't refrain. My response was simply an explanation to the questioner of where the info came from...right or wrong! I make the error of not citing the source of my answers at an attempt at brevity. Bottom line..get the right info out!

Dale - I know this is unsolicited information but I think the Savage 110 is worth commenting on. It's an interesting design for many reaons. It's strong with a Mauser-type lock-up and substantial side wall support along with being safe in the gas venting department - and it has an advantage few other rifles have. The barrel locking system allows precise headspace adjustment in a scoped rifle. The recessed barrel is another good feature along with the bolt face recess - both in excess of Remington 721/722/700 specifications. More support where it counts and in an economy package. A little more complicated than some models of rifles and designs but the designers's task was to make a safe strong rifle for a price you could live with and he did a fine job. Bells and whistles are absent but the basic design is worth working with.
If I ever get caught up I would consider building a high-end target rifle based on this action and system.
