Thanks, all, for a great forum. Savage firearms rate high in my book so I couldn't resist picking up this beautiful Savage Sporter 23AA at a gun show recently. As you can see it's in fabulous shape for a rifle that has to be at least 70 years old, based on the dates of manufacturer (1933-42).

First time out to the range I was getting 2-inch groups at 100 yards after zeroing in a cheap Tasco scope which came with it. Unbelievable accuracy and the trigger is so light it reminds me of the Accutrigger, which I have I my Mark II. Dare I say it: This old Savage holds its own against my modern .22's with better scopes.

The serial on this Sporter is 144XXX. Any info on year made and value would be appreciated. It came with one 10-round magazine and I'm looking for more but they appear to be pricey or otherwise hard to find. Sources welcome.

Sincerely,
Buzzer
