New to this sight and to all blogs and sights, particularly those to do with guns. At age 81 I am gathering information on guns left to me a so I can pass it on to my grandson. I inherited a savage 303 rifle patented Feb. 7, 1893-July 25,1893. I believe the number stamped under the breech is a serial # 34.605. It has open sights as well as a folding peep sight above the trigger. Any and all information would be appreciated from the "experts" here. I have photos but will need to study and experiment before posting .

Welcome from colorful Colorado hope you enjoy the blog.

Welcome aboard

Welcome to the group. I'd like to see a picture of the 303 Savage, interesting as to what it might be.

Welcome old timer! That gun of yours sounds very interesting and probably bears no resemblance (even remotely) to anything Savage makes today!!!! I would love to see pics. I too just retired this year and finally have time to fully enjoy my gun passions and am building my first long action bolt rifle. The guys here have helped me a lot in the short few weeks that I have been here. Again welcome. These are good folks... mostly... well there is one Txhillbilly I would weary of... ( ha ha ha ! - just kidding - he has been the most helpful one of the bunch and even happens to be in my Texas neighborhood)!!

See you around!!!

welcome
