No, it's not an E. The earlier E was a sweet rifle, very desirable, and the later E was an economy model with cost cutting measures enacted in it's production. Yours was Savage's bread and butter gun in 300. BUT, that scope is outrageous I gotta say!! Most guys opt for a little Leupold 2-7 or 1.75-6, with many going the route of classic setups using Stith mounts and vintage glass. That rifle NEEDS a properly scaled optic, or none at all to be fully appreciated. Enjoy your weapon and please feel welcome.
