Too bad Savage didn’t standardize the 270 Titus or something similar. That would have nicely filled a niche between the 250 and 300.

And they really should have created a 35 Savage...

Where is the Prince of Iran's rifle?

I've wondered this too.
You'd think it would be recorded somewhere in Savage's archives. But likely discarded over 100 years, 2 World Wars, Utica to Chicopee to Westfield moves,...

But I'll start.
Uh,.. Proctor, Risley,...

And these guys from the 50's.
William OConnor V.P.
Joseph Falcon Pres.
Richard Havourd V.P.

(hopefully Bailey's list can be located)

In the US, in private hands. Or so we've been told.

Don't know the owner.

why the slow twist on the 22hp and 250

Ultimately Savage was responsible for barrel twist rate, but was based heavily on input from the wildcat inventor Charles Newton, “the father of high power”.

Who was JJ ??? my factory custom "K" model, 300 with 22" barrel , longer buttstock with a cheekpiece, tighter lever wrap and tighter curved pistolgrip, special hinged buttplate ??? There is a JJ stamped on the barrel under the barrel serial number,he must have been someone with influence! Maybe a factory higherup.

Savage Services - when and what odd ball/non-cataloged rifles were they responsible for?

We used to make reference to the 'Custom Shop' Is this what you mean?

Yes, I think Savage Serices was the custom and parts department. I've heard that they sometimes put together rifles that were not cataloged and maybe without the blessing/knowledge of management. Jeff B might have some input on the subject.

The parts manuals with the red plastic covers are marked Savage Servies on the front.
