Default Model 10-10 Import?

Would appreciate your help in ID'g the Model 10-10 in attached photos as to mfr date. Gun has stamped legend 'CAI Georgia, VT' which I know is Century Arms. Anyone know where gun was shipped to and returned from?
Serial # BSL 0738.

It appears to have been made between 1988 and 1996, probably later in that range. The three letter prefix "BSL" is not shown in SCSW3.

Your best bet for identifying the country it was shipped to is to report all the markings from anywhere on the gun, including under the grips. Maybe one of them will provide a clue.

I would contact Century Arms; they should at least know from where they imported it, if they keep records of such things (and I would guess the US government mandates it).
