Can you experts on these particular rigs give me some knowledge as to what exactly I have here? Version? original? modified in some way? etc etc She is chambered in 300sav and appears to be a takedown model of some sort. Serial number is some near 1940 I believe. https://i.postimg.cc/B6cvHtqZ/0713222143a.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/g2Cc73jk/0713222143b.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/9fbdXgyf/0713222142.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tJKPvKGB/0713222143.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YCcfdWpt/0713222141.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/t4YQN8CK/0713222140.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/pXQtdKcS/0713222140-HDR.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VsJfz7tL/0713222144b.jpg

The more common 70 LH has slick knobs with slots for a screwdriver. The H stands for hunter. It's in nice shape. What is the serial # range. First 3 digits followed by 3 X's is enough to narrow it down. Last edited by wyo1895; 07/14/22. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

Sling swivel studs were not standard on this model. It’s hard to tell from the photos, but based on first photo, it’s possible those are optional factory sling eyes. (David and I typing at same time.) Last edited by Jaaack; 07/15/22. Reason: Last line
