Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Selling a T

I am gonna sell a T in 300, PM me for details

I'll get with you guys when I get home after work

Well fellas, here's the story. I bought this gun about 2 years ago, RIG'd it and put it in the safe. I didn't notice a tiny tang crack or the crack in the wrist or I would have sent it back to the seller. So I'm stuck with a high dollar POS. Sorry about this

Billy, Did you ever shoot it at all? i have bought a few and discovered little problems after, the tang crack is normal ,but a crack in the wrist sure ain't good! Don

Besides not makeing many I just cant see, whats so great about the Ts, I have owned 3 of them and they, just dont float my boat, Id take a G, over one anyday, but live & learn.

Never did a thing with it, that crack ruined my day

Look at the bright side,maybe another crack will make your day.

Sounds like for what you have in it it would make sense to send the stock off to one of the pros and have it repaired. The good ones make those flaws pretty much disappear. Might put a smile back...

Any pics?

Do the numbers match?



Relax. I was kidding...smiley*

It would be pretty ironic if Billy wrote back that the screwdriver slipped while he was taking the buttplate off.....

A small pearl of wisdom:...always remove the Lyman style tang sight before removing a buttstock...those sight bases do bend.

OUCH! That hurts, I would think the stock would give before the sight base bent, but either/both would SUCK!

Can we see pics. of T? & I'm with Mike, get a pro to do the stock repair. -TomT

I found the crack while taking pics this afternoon, Ill post them up tomorrow when the fiance is around

Billy, is your safe humidity controlled? Could it be that the T spent it's life in humid conditions down there in FL, then got the shock of it's life (so to speak) when stored in a dry safe? That could explain why you didn't see the cracks until now. Just thinking out loud.

NOW you tell me about first removing the tang sight, Jed. I learned that lesson the hard way 4 hunting seasons ago. I managed to weasel the stock off-and-on without removing the 30 1/2 (to effect a minor internal repair) and was proud of myself for not denting the wood and not having to re-sight in on the eve of opening day. What old Eagle Eye here didn't notice was that I did manage to bend the base of the sight up enough to cleanly miss a broadside shot at a 75 yard deer. Nothing like sighting in your rifle in the woods, using candy bar wrappers stuck to trees, on opening day. That also taught me the value of always having an auxiliary folding leaf rear sight on the barrel too.

Yes, I have 3 dehumidifiers in the safe. Gonna try and get pics up today so yall can see how bad I got hoodwinked.

OT billy, but howd you get that whitetail in your picture to hold your Savage rifle and let you take pictures of him?

Smokey, I shot him in the lungs, it made him a bit more willing to pose

you got a fiance too?

Yep, from what I hear, in French, fianc� means Fu#&ed. But she' ll do, she's a
