Could this be a Savage factory stock?

Could be. Back in the day Savage and others put out wood stocks . That one is pretty good. I wish the good old days were back. Instead of the New Normal. Tommy Mc

Not likely a Savage stock, I've never seen one like that on a110.....

Have to correct what I posted previously, Savage DID make a stock like pictured above.

Check out the catalog section on Savage Shooter's site and look at 1968, they did have a stock just like that on the 110-PE, Presentation grade, but the action also had fancy engraving.

Hard to tell from your pictures, but it appears the action and barrel are pre-66. The "barrel bulge" the rear sight is dovetailed to was only found on pre-66 110s.

There should be an oval stamp on the barrel with 2 digits and a letter (not the oval "SP", Savage Proof, stamp). The letter will decode year produced.

I would guess it is a Fajen stock the owner put on it.

Yes , the Top grade , can’t remember the name . Had a few in my uncles gun shop .

Found the stamps but I can make nothing of the date stamp.

They did indeed stock a series of rifles like that years ago. I had one in .30-06 that actually had fancier grain than that one. Mine was factory new when I bought it in 1974 or 75 and had a checkered aluminum (I believe) buttplate. Like the PE series without the engraving. Excellent shooter and sorry I ever traded it off (one of many regrets).

That's an "R" which means your rifle is a first year 1965 Premier Grade 110P. Very cool!

Savage 110 date codes start in 1957, through 1968 they were:

1957 = I
1958 = J
1959 = K
1960 = M
1961 = N
1962 = O
1963 = P
1964 = Q
1965 = R
1966 = S
1967 = T
1968 = U

The "U" was only used until an alpha character preceded serial number to comply with 1968 GCA.

I had a Savage exactly like pictured and it was a factory stock, I don't recall that mine was marked as Premier grade.

Thanks Phil. That's very helpful.
