Mint Model 23b 22 Hornet - Scope mount and date of Manufacture?

[Odgreen]

I'm seeing what I think are 2 holes which would make the mount your looking for a Weaver T-1 but as for being factory I'm not to sure.

I've never collected data on the model 23's so I can't even make an educated guess on the time it was made.

Thanks:)

Tracking down date of manufacture with some makers is tough like S&W.

Ill have to letter this thing.

Anyone know if a Savage reference book that may cover this thing? It would be worth purchasing for me.
