Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors For the board: Who has the earliest factory checkered EG?

I'd guess 1 or 3. We've seen too many uncheckered EG's from 379,xxx to 387,xxx to think they started generally checkering them at 379,xxx. In fact the only checkered ones we have in that range are 22HP EG's and Spiegel EG's.

Sample of one is an outlier and falls into the "Never Say Never" category. If a few more pop up, then we might consider that they started some earlier.

Very cool gun tho.
