Nope....32. But I thought I got the scope for a good price @ $40.

Those Texan scopes are nice: the working man's version of the Lyman Alaskan. Looks like a day well spent.

Don't know anything about 1917s, but it don't take a genius to see that one has a ton of condition.
Nice grab.

Very Nice
Were you at the Slinger or Peshtigo Show?

Way cool Brian. Good for you. Next time I'm around back there I'll call to see if you're available to let me have a look see. And to think that my sister-in-law teaches in Peshtigo and didn't tell me about it.

Anyone have the manufacture dates by SN? Savage 99 has the pistol dates there as well as 99's. http://www.savage99.com/savage32_dates.htmNice 1917 BTW!

Looks like a late one by SN. Says 1922-1926.
Thanks for the compliments, guys. I really wasn't sure what I was buying. I had never seen a Savage pistol at a show before, and the finish is different from the 1907 I've handled. I almost walked away from it.
There was also an 1950 EG in .300 there wearing a compass in the stock and a Lyman 29 1/2. The Lyman was missing the flip down aperture and the windage had some slop in the dovetailed pieces. I passed @ $450.
Anyone have some 7/8" Weaver rings?

Congratulations ont the find. I went to a show yesterday, and picked up a 1917 in 380, but not in as good a condition as yours. I also bought a couple of antique pocket knives. I also passed on a very nice pre war R in 300, with a Lyman peep mounted. The guy thought it was a G deluxe.

Brian, I notice that yours has the left grip with the Indian in the logo pointing to the rear of the gun, on others the Indian is pointing to the front; a friend of mine just bought a nice one with that version grip at the OGCA show. I told him I would try to find out the story on the grips, I am not sure which is supposed to be the more scarce version (if either is). Hopefully someone that knows can offer some information.
The duller finish is correct.
