I have owned three savage lever rifles that I did not shoot
1. Factory engraved 1895 Stratton rifle. I was worried about damaging it.
2. Nelson prototype , was unable do to caliber was hoping the sale would provide a spent case? Was told the rifle was fired but no spent case.
3. 1899 cutaway 303 savage , just never got around to it but I do believe it was/is fully fireable.
I do have another savage 110 cut away that is not fireable so I will not shoot her.
Maybe you could speak with Ron on the rifle and allow it to be shot in a controlled environment with a donation to Cody ? Some would line up with a donation for the chance to fire and a photo op maybe myself included.
