It's a Savage model 1922.

Only made for one year just before they came out with the model 23.

Yep, sounds like a Model 22 to me too. I think they were made in 1934. Just kidding and my apologies for the bad take on the "who's buried in Grant's tomb" joke. Now you'll have to get a Model 19 and 19-33; a 23A, B, C and D; and, a 23AA to have the complete pre-war set. It's infectious. There are those on this forum who are very knowledgeable on these rifles and I am sure they will be along soon to tell you more and better than I can.

If you put the muzzel on the floor and look straight down on the action you will see the serial stamped under the bolt knob, or pull the bolt out, Joe.

The first rifle in the series was the Model 1919 which was an entry level target rifle. It was followed with the Model 1922 Sporter version. Both are the same action with different wood. As stated above, these two versions were followed with several late variations and in production till WWII.

There were around 16,000 of the Model 1922 produced. The rear sight was held on with one screw in front of the breach. There are two holes in the top rear of the receiver for an optional receiver sight (Savage Model #5) which was standard on the Model 1919. Use of a receiver sight also required a taller front sight.

Actually, if you blow it up, it says RIGHT, so I get my shoes on the right feet, Joe.

Hand stamped one number at a time. You would have thought they would have found a better/easier place to put a serial number.

Is the "x" a number? Or is the serial 2038? I have not seen one in the 20,000 range.

The serial on the 1919 above is in the 7000 range. If the numbers continued uninterrupted through the variations, a 1922 in the 20,000 range sounds about right to me. Maybe Rick will jump in on that. I think someone told me they used the split firing pin on the first 25,000 or so. Maybe someone will verify that also, Joe.
