Questions about a .358 - 08/23/07
A little back ground, I shot my first deer using my grandfathers savage .358. I was so excited he promised me the rifle, unfortunatly when i recieved it, it was because of his death. He was a great man and always told me you have to know the history to tell the story. So here i am with a beautiful rifle and a lovely story with no history. I cant find too much information on the Rifle and when i call around most people either tell me it doesnt exist or how much for it. Well heres the info i know i hope you guys can help. Its a model 99, Seris A, it has several stamps on the barrel they include, a diamond with 1 in the middle, a square with 1 in the middle, a circle with SP1 in it, a circle with 83 in it, and then a plan S8 stamp. I dont know if this will help. But when people ask me about it i would like to give them close to accurate history on the rifle. Thanks for taking your time to read this.
