Earlier rifles with eyes were probably added after the factory. I think I got that right...don't have all my info handy. Savage...never say "never". Rick...

Price was 500 or 550, it was gone the third time I went back to look at it again.

I got it this way,,It's very accurate,but looks funky! and does not appear any modifications were done, the front of scope sits about a 1/8 inch off center Last edited by 1899sav; 06/26/11. �Can we move this along?" a bored voice stated.
