I just bought a model 93 in .22 hoenet. How do I find out when it was made?
Nice rifle. I am currently looking for the same in .22 magnum. Just find the serial number and call Savage.
Thanks for the link.
This is my 1st savage. I have always been loyal to Marlin in the past. The .22 Hornet has just tweaked my intrest and Savage has a reputation for quality.
It was made in 2006. There were only a coupla hundred made, it was basically the model 40 without the accutrigger and laminated stock.
Thanks. Any idea what the twist rate would be on it?
Don't know but being a Hornet I would guess 12 or 14.
Hi. I'm a newby here. I also have a Mod 93 in .17rfm. Can I buy barrels in .22 Hornet, K-Hornet, and .218 Bee to fit the Mod 93?
i don't believe you can change barrels on a rimfire action, i read somewhere that they are soldered or something similar, to the action. there are more people on here that have more knowledge than i do so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Wouldn't matter if you could change the barrels, the firing pin won't work. Rimfire vs centerfire???Quote:

2. As noted, the firing pin will hit in the wrong place
3. The rimfire action isn't nearly strong enough to handle the pressure and back thrust of a center fire round, even the Hornet.
