I'm infected... Bought another savage

[sageratslayer]

Hey Gang,

The infection of savageitus is in full swing. I just picked up an older model 114 in .270. It is a flat receiver, walnut stocked, pre-accutrigger rifle with front and rear sights. I was wondering about the age... the serial is F 255XXX. Any ideas? Also if any of you are in Southern Oregon, I can point you to a local store with a gold mine of savages (including a 110 30.06 with accutrigger for $295)... some 243's, 4 270's, 2 30.06's, 3 300mag's and a 338. All under 400. PM me if interested.

Savage number 6 and counting...

If you go to savagearms.com and click on the customer service tab at the top, it'll give you the option to find the date of manufacture. Mine gave me the month and year if I remember correctly.

I'm in northeastern oregon but get to the southeastern part of the state from time to time.

Hey Ramstud41,

I went to the website and put that in, but it said it does not have info prior to the G prefix. I put in my other savages and I even got down to the hour they were produced! Anyone know anything about the F prefix rifle dates?

Was just reading this this morning, it gives a rough idea.

My 12 FV has the F prefix and it was manufactured in 2001.
