I've done some thinking about this rifle and I will pass.
Thank you all for the info. It has helped to sway me toward just building a 22br off of my own action. Some things just don't set right with me as you pointed out DAA. I am wondering now why he would have had a 22br built out of a new LRPV and has no knowledge of the chamberings as well as the deal with the stock barrel. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
I think I will enjoy having one built to my specs much better. Especially, picking a quality barrel and gunsmith.
I have been burned before with crap like this.LOL /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
The more I ponder it, I can come up with the extra cash to build to my liking..
Thanks again, Allen
One last thought.
Savage has a custom shop, and it might be a factory custom.
You didn't say how much it was, but if the price is attractive, you might get the serial number and call Savage and ask if it was a 22BR when it left the factory.
I once saw an add on the gun range bulletin board for a Remington 6mmBR for $700, and it looked "iffy". I thought it was a rebarreled 700 BDL.
When I went to see the gun it was a brand new 40-XBBR (a $3,500 rifle) that had never fired a shot outside of the factory - I bought it (I mean, well - Duh!!).
If you like this Savage, look into it... it might be a real good deal.
