Hello! My name is Jeremy and I am a Savage-aholic.
I acquired my first Savage and will take possession soon. Perhaps someone might have a bit more info about this one. It is a beautiful rifle and all original from what I can tell. ( I will post pix when I can....) Glad I found this spot to talk Savage. A little info.........
SN:893XX puts it somewhere between 1908/1909 via Savage99.com Barrel stamped:Savage Model 1899 .30-30 and Hi-Pressure Steel. 20" barrel,Straight grip, Steel Shotgun Butt plate, ("serrated"/wavy,no logo or other markings) Schnobel Tip. No checkering or other customizations.Dovetail front and ramped rear sights.NOT D&T'ed. From what I can tell this might be a transition model, hence no other designation as to "model" of rifle(i.e. A,B,C,H,). A gunsmith checked this out for me and said it was a safe shooter with 70-75% receiver & barrel blue intact. Not a "collector" but Used and not abused. Any feed back appreciated. Oh...BTW thank you!!!!
