[Linked Image]Calhoun, the screws do look to be case colored, even on the side/ adjustment screws...cartridge rotory magazine/counter looks like case colored steel, like some '52-'53 EG's?

Beautiful gun

I know this has been discussed before, but have we ever reached a consensus about which of the three commonly available sizes of swivel hooks Savage issued on their rifles? Seems like Winchester used the longest/largest hooks. In any event the three different sizes of hooks are not universally correct for Marlin, Savage and Winchester guns.

Those Hunter knobs are also cased.
Redfield did that back in the day.

They should be Rory, I have a different model nib Redfield Receiver Sight and the target knobs and all the screws, including the mounting screws are cased.
