Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Going to sell my .30-30 Win EG but....

I have an R in 250 that's 1000 higher than that and is d&t with those B&M holes, so we do see them. No compass in mine, though mine is also d&t for side Weaver T7. I'm not sure I recall seeing another B&M d&t gun with compass?

I was just wanting to remove the possibility that his might be some early variant.

pdcrig, the checkering style is different than anything Savage was doing at that time. They were checkering the 99G, 99T and the 99R, I can't see the factory doing an entirely new checkering pattern for a single Spiegel EG. It looks like a pretty good checkering job, just not one of Savage's styles. Most here would presume the compass was added by the same guy who did the checkering, but it might be that Mr. Callahan knows something we don't about Spiegel and compasses and it was done by the factory. Never say never.
