OP BrentD711 Campfire Greenhorn B Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 52 Central Maine	I picked up a single shot .22 Model 1905 target rifle yesterday at a gun shop in New Hampshire. I've never seen one and couldn't leave without it. Not finding a lot of info on the web or in the Blue Book. How common are they?

Anyone else have a higher serial numbered 1905??? Savage...never say "never". Rick... Join the NRA...together we stand, divided we fall!

Although no longer produced, it remains highly revered, as it was the foundation from which Arthur Savage built one of America's great gun companies. >> (Jon Y. Wolfe) <<

Since the 1905 BrentD is looking at is in the 5000 range I would assume the 1904 and 1905 had their own serial range. Savage...never say "never". Rick...

I'm from Maine and bought it at LL Cote in Errol NH. Nice shop and good people, by the way, if anyone happens through northern NH. Here are some photos of the sights.

Sure does look like factory finish on the wood and metal...Nice find for that money! When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

OP BrentD711 Campfire Greenhorn B Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 52 Central Maine	Agreed on the sights Jed. Were the target models perhaps serialed seperately from the standard model 1905?

Rick99 Campfire Outfitter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 14,598 N E Kansas	Serial number is correct. If the 1904 and 1905 are in the same serial range I would think say this is a very early 1905! Savage...never say "never". Rick... Join the NRA...together we stand, divided we fall!
