Savage model 110 vs model 111

[BuckWildM9]

So recently iv been looking into a hunti g rifle in 30-06 and at my local shop i happened across a savage model 110 for 399, wood stock with a scope, this was about two weeks ago. Then, found out theres a gun show coming up sponsered by C and C reloaders. Figured id save up for the show incase theres anything worth while there. But just this morning, my shop posted that they are havong a sale this weekend. And just in, a savage 111 for 200$. So currently im about to say bullocks to the gun show. Can anybody here tell me the differences between a savage 111 30-06 and a savage 110 30-06? I havent been able to find anything

Traditionally, I believe the 10 line has leaned towards being more of the LE/Tactical line while the 11 has been more of the "hunting" lineup. The 10's were more likely to have detachable mags and heavier barrels among other minor differences I think. That being said, as the years have gone on the distinctions between the two have blurred so much I'm not really sure what the actual differences are anymore. Hard to make a judgement without knowing the specific rifles/models you're looking at.

All of that aside, $200 is a killer deal on a 111 and I wouldn't pass it up. That's in the price range of the non-Accutrigger Axis models.

Yeah, I don't believe you're gonna beat the deal on the 111 for $200 either. I'm not familiar with the newer stocks Savage is using, but going by the 111's .30-06 barreled action, get it and don't look back. Even if it is a center feed.

Most of the 110 series rifles are blue and wood. The 111 have synthetic stocks. There are also letters that designate stock type g wood, b laminated, f synthetic.

The tactical varmint rifles tend to have a designation as well vt, for varmint /target. A t or fcp desigmates tactical.

I thought the 11/111s usually designated blued with a scope, but honestly my knowledge of Savage nomenclature is poor at best.

Xp is package with scope.

11 is short action 111 long action.

Bvss laminate varmint stainless steel.
I've been shooting savages since mid 90's.

....and...don't forget, Savage also made special models for some distributors or major retailers.

12FV-S Short action, plastic stock, Varmint weight barrel, single shot action - One of my favorites!!

So i ended uo getting the 111 and after tax payed abiut 215 for it. Its an older model withiut a detachable box mag, doesnt have a scope and has the synthetic stock. It has a mounted pic rail on the top however amd even still i think its a pretty good deal. What all do you guys have to say?

Yes it's a good deal. How about a pic. I'd love to see it.

I won a 111 fns about 8? years ago in .300 winmag at one of our gun bashes. I took off the Bushnell 3X9 and put a Leupold 3X15 on it.

I'm working a load for it with 180gr accubonds over IMR4350.
It was running groups smaller than 2" at 200. The last 3 rounds I had grouped 2 5/8" at 300 but have not done any more shooting with it recently.
I'll do some 5 shot groups to verify consistancy.

$200 is a great deal

A set of Weaver rings and a scope and you're set... and that don't have to cost an arm and a leg either.

Just a couple of things to pay attention to...

1- When you get it, I'd suggest checking the torque on the action screws and, before you mount a scope, the rail's screws.

2- Be sure the barrel's actually free-floating... it should be, but with a synthetic stock, you need to be sure it's rigid and there won't be any pressure on the barrel. If you run into accuracy issues, get ahold of a Boyd's wood stock first.

With the deal you just got, if you should find an issue, you have room to improve without breaking the bank which you wouldn't have with a more expensive rifle. Like I said up-thread, I don't think you can beat this deal.
