My first cousin has one that was once was in 12/.222 but he had it rebored to 7x57 Mauser for more PUNCH on deer/hogs. = I'd bet that the number of game animals that Randy has taken with it is numbered in the HUNDREDS from quail/ducks/jackrabbits/bobcats/coyotes/deer/hogs.

yours, tex


The 2400 Savage was a big step up in grade and finish for sure. They had better bluing, better wood, and hand cut checkering. My grandson took a decent 3X3 mulie with this one last fall. It's 12/308 with an older Loopy 2-7. The Sako rings work well as QD mounts.

I picked it up on a fast trip through San Antonio a few years back... whistle whistle grin
