I recently acquired while leaning out my father in laws basement 2 old Savage 22 rifles. Don't really know what I have, condition could only be considered fair but since they are family heirlooms the value really isn't as much of a question as to "what is it".

Here are a couple pics.

Apparently somewhere down the line someone didn't like the feel of carrying the rifle with the gap between the trigger guard and the clip and built a spacer to fill the gap, as it is bolted to the trigger guard and serves no purpose I can figure.

The sight really intrigued me for what appears to be the age of the rifle.


Have not located a serial number, the last patent date is: Nov 20, 1917

Any information you can provide will be much appreciated.

Since at the same time I found this gun I also found a pump action, octagon barrel, clip fed 22 and a Model 23c in 32-20 so I have a feeling I will be spending some time here picking your all's knowledge of these old rifles.
