Traded into a neat old rifle.

Wandered into a local gun shop the other day that I hadn't visited in a few years and ended up trading the .38 that I kept in the glove box for a cute older savage.

Its a 219 Single shot, with a 26 inch 30-30 Win. Barrel and a 30 inch 12 gauge 2 3/4 inch barrel. It has a sliding safety on the tang instead of an exposed hammer, combined with the classic lines of an old savage it makes this a very sharp looking rifle. It's very light and balances beautifully.

Whats really neat is that it has no serial numbers, the barrels are stamped Utica NY my research Indicates that it was made between 1937 and 1948. I haven't shot it yet so hopefully it groups good. This makes my 6th savage rifle. I guess I'm addicted

One of those cheap Savages? How many times have you heard that?

I have a couple Savage rifles which I would put up shot for shot against nearly any other factory rifle. Fit and finish is acceptable but they shoot well.

My .22-250 is exceptional and rivals my son's 700 SPS with a custom Hoague stock and an expensive scope.

Enjoy the Savage.
