The first rifle in the series was the Model 1919 which was an entry level target rifle. It was followed with the Model 1922 Sporter version. Both are the same action with different wood. As stated above, these two versions were followed with several late variations and in production till WWII.
There were around 16,000 of the Model 1922 produced. The rear sight was held on with one screw in front of the breach. There are two holes in the top rear of the receiver for an optional receiver sight (Savage Model #5) which was standard on the Model 1919. Use of a receiver sight also required a taller front sight.
We are always glad to help people with family firearms.
