My 243 PE has the raised rear sight boss. serial # 1142XXX. The 284's of course didn't have the raised sight boss. I thought the 308's had the boss. Seems like I've seen a few that did have it. Assembly codes that I've seen had a combination of letters and numbers but that sure looks like a set. David
David, this 308 is date code X, 1970, and has the tapered barrel w/o sight boss.
You guys won't believe this, I just went out and checked the serial number on the 308 PE. It ends with 2452.
Holy Cow, I think I just won the Savage lottery and achieved the un-achievable. Climbed the unclimbable! Soaring with eagles!
