Seems like every .25-35 I ever looked at had a junky bore. Once stumbled onto one in a local sporting goods store's used rack - 1899 solid frame carbine, beautiful condition, and I thought , "Finally!" Nope, sewer pipe bore, and I walked away from it even though the price was a bargain.

Very nice job Roy, always wanted one but all iv looked at the bores were terrible! Seems we all agree on that! Found a nice one, at a show one time a src. F, with a full length scope on it. I went to the bank and it was gone when I got back.
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!

Savage must have had an interesting rotor assembly process when one arrived unmarked.None of the internal parts are marked either.I guess each rifle was hand fitted.

Swapped out the sights again because I just could not see the front post inside the globe Lyman sight. I need my front sight to have some light hitting it. Front sight has an ivory bead. Added a tang peep that's windage and elevation adjustable and has four size apertures on a rotating disc.
