So much for well laid plans. The boss thought I should work on putting flooring down. We've been walking around on OSB for a coupla years now. I'll try again tomorrow around the Memorial Day service.

WOW David, don't know what you traded for that Speigle but you must have been happy with it. I know I would have. Speigles are really cool 99's.  Lots of history there. Steve

The rifle I'm getting has a brass medallion on the butt stock with the owners name on it. Was this an option or added by owner?

IIRC it was something that they offered with a rifle as an option for some extra money. I dont think they installed it on the rifle for you. We have seen 1 or 2 on savage rifles. Here are some of them on Mossberg .22s http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486253

I traded a really well worn 1899H TD in 25-35 plus some cash. That rifle is also a caliber I didn't have in an EG.

So if I understand Mossberg made a mount for there scope with Speigle to put on this rifle. Is there a contemporary solution to mount a scope?

We should honor who came before. That is what is cool about a personal medallion of a previous owner.

Photo Bucket A few things I noticed a boss code that appears to be a Q. I thought Savage started with boss codes in 49. The serial number is 379892. The front blade sight is in white. I have a couple of questions. There is a small spot of rust on the barrel. Can I steel wool it off and oil without hurting value. Also the buttstock needs a crack repaired will that hurt value.

Boss code doesn't mean anything pre war, its an inspector stamp. Clean the rust, fix the crack. The crack hurts the value. You don't have much into the rifle.

Thanks for posting.
Looks like it will clean up nice. Good find.
Opinions vary regarding removing rust. Wool - steel, brass or copper. With or without oil. Do a google search and maybe try on something else first.
Personally, I'd go with the finest brass wool I could find, dry and don't overdue it, oil afterward. JMO. Good luck!

I know I am probably killing this thread but I was under the impression that Speigles were EG's. So wouldn't follow that the barrels would be 24"?. Mine has a 22" barrel. Did Speigle sell both?

22 HP, 250-3000, 303 and 30-30 were 22". 300 was 24". Someone on here, probably SBrown has a 30-30 or 303 with a 24" barrel, but normal production was as listed above.
