Scope is a 1.25-4. Figured I do most of my hunting inside 400 yards so it'll be fine. I've heard you guys talk about the differences in engraving on the PE's but I've got only one other to compare it to so I'm curious if they're the same pattern.
If Savage still built rifles like this they could make an Oregon version with weed engraving on it. LOL

Beautiful rifle.
I'd think twice about taking it hunting though.
Send us pictures of it after you drop it on a pile of rocks.

LOL ' It's bigger than that for me. I've been blessed to be able to play with different rifles over a lifetime and this one has eluded me for years. I'm going to hunt it and enjoy every minute of it. Someone else can worry about it after I'm gone.

Absolute Beauty Roy!
I appreciate the investment, waiting and searching, (, tightening of one's ass and wad, etc.) it's taken to allow You to hunt with it! Bravo!

There are production records
There are 3 different finishes
There are more than 3 different engraving style
Eastern style, Western style also differences within each style
It was just said there are no collectors on this so who the hell cares???

Some guys didn't care for my 1929 K after some one carved his initials in the buttstock of that hand picked Walnut. But, now that I found out whose initials are JM, I could probably run over to Carmel-by-the-Sea, and stand in front of Jo Mora's house and get more for his carving, than I could for the gun? I'm sure Roy will take the utmost of care while in the field with that rifle, anyway, I hope so.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

It was just said there are no collectors on this so who the hell cares??? I closely compared the 308 to this one and they are "identical" patterns, with many minor differences. Do you know if this is eastern pattern, western pattern, or ???? The scenes lead me to believe this would be western, but how the hell would I know.

Just put a compass in the stock and call it good.

Magnificent rifle, hardly gets any better than that for me. I know lots on here love the real old ones and I get that, but I could probably find a place for it somewhere!!!

Considering the rest of the rig the scope rings look low rent.
