I hadn't planned to buy a rifle yesterday, but came across this model 10 with a 6-24x44 in the paper. It had been sitting in the back of this guys safe for a while, and i guess it was time for it to go.
It has a few battle scars, and will have more before i'm done. The barrel reads .223 model 10, no fp or any letters of any kind. I will guess that it's a 1/9 because it doesn't say what it is and savage seems to have made most of their .223's in 1/9. He said that he bought it from his buddy about 8 years ago and his buddy bought it new about two years before that. While cleaning it i found a build date for the stock of 2/99, thats all i know so far.
If anybody knows about this model, will you let me the twist and whatever history you know of this model rifle. I haven't had much luck finding a good savage web site. It is a tactical, but other than that and the caliber, i'm stuck.
As soon as the sun gets up and it gets above freezing this morning, i'm heading to the range and punch some paper with it, thanks for any help you have. (how a guy that loves 16" barrels ended up with this i don't know) blue
