I know the history of companies not liking to chamber rifles in the competition's ammo. But it makes logical sense, to me anyway, that if you can't even manufacture your own rifles it's probably a good idea to sell as many as possible to get to a place where you can. If that means chambering some in a hot/popular new round, especially if requested to do so, it would be a good idea to go along with it and maybe just not advertise it.

Just looking at a log page that stated “light” or “lightest” there would be no way to determine what it meant. Even receiving a letter that didn't indicate that your 22" barreled rifle was factory (was not cataloged) most would assume it was cut. We were lucky that Plab had two short barreled 1895, lettered them, and made the connection as to what they were. Wonder how many more are out there?
Loggah, do you have 2 or 3 SR's now?

Also, in Mule Deer's chapter on the 30-30 he lists a load he used in a Savage 1895. Since he also listed one for the 99, and knowing some of his work, I would guess he ran across a 30-30 chambered Savage 1895. I'd think he might have been mistaken about it being an 1895, when it was actually an early 1899. That happens frequently, even to experienced gun guys who run afoul of misleading info.

The 1895 in 30 WCF had some fun today.

I do not understand this questioning of the 22" 1895's I have 2 or more
95's with 22" barrels 0ne is a saddle gun one is a C model so what is the big deal.
I think some one should check the 1895 and the 1897 catalog for the barrel lengths In the 95 catalog you could get Sporting Rifles in 26"-28"-30"-32" all came in
A,B,C Models Military Rifles in 26"-28"-30" Carbines came in 15"and 20"
The 1897 catalog shows Sporting Rifles in 26"-28"-30" A,B,C, models
Military Rifles in 28" Carbines 20"-22" Savage built {Or Marlin Built} for
Savage Rifles from 15" to 32" in 1896 so i would think they could build
a 22" gun also as they did in 1897 I know that because someone does not
have a bunch of written letters on this some will say it is no so

I have an 1895 octagon with a 22" barrel, high grade wood and checkering. The muzzle looks like factory work. I'll bring it to Savage Fest

I don't think anybody was suggesting the 22" barreled 1895's don't exist. They obviously do, and Savage/Marlin would cut the barrel to any length.

I thought the issue was more about the 1895 chambered in .30-30 than barrel length??

Usually when you get to page 3 and there isn’t a yelling match, it usually means other points were brought up. One of these points was how many different variations of 1895s are out there. Particularly about barrel length. I am by no means an expert on them.

I wonder how many of us have 1895s and never chambered a cartridge in the rifle? I am going to pull my 1895A out of the cabinet and take a 303 and 30-30 cartridge next time I go to my bush lot.
