[QUOTE="DougH9, post: 139666, member: 3802"] I have always used Wins. & Rems., but recently scored a great deal on an older Savage 110V. I put an EABCO 12 twist 308 barrel on it (myself), and it is now my most accurate rifle (that is both good, and bad). In looking over the 110 carefully, I am beginning to think that they really have a lot to offer. Here are a couple of points: 1. Excellant gas shielding (better than Win & Rem) 2. Mechanically secured bolt handle (unlike Rem) 3. Durable bolt stop mechanism (unlike Rem) 4. Durable and easily replaceable extractor (unlike Rem) 5. The bolt lugs have cocking cams (unlike Rem) 6. Easily replaceable bolt head (in case you burn it) And best of all... 7. You can rebarrel yourself! (no 3 month wait with all of the packing & shipping) The only downside I have found is the plastic mag. follower, and that the magazine feeds from sheetmetal lips. But these concerns are strictly cosmetic, and the parts actually funtion very well. [/QUOTE]
