John Callahan our savage historian told me this was the inspection mark he used when he worked at savage. I just happened to have a rifle he inspected. Don

He said he assembled a lot of the 75th Anniv. rifles. I don't know how long he was an assembler. Savage...never say "never". Rick... Join the NRA...together we stand, divided we fall!

I did look my anniversary over well and it wasn't there either. I did, however notice the date code NOT being in the usual place. It on the right side of the receiver ring. It is 10X.
