Trying to figure out a brain twister question. Did Savage market a Model 14 bolt action rifle prior to the Model 14 American Classic model? About a year ago I bought a almost NIB looking Model AC in .223 caliber. A long time friend has had a Savage bolt rifle in .222 Remington for a long time, I thought he told me once it was a Model 14 as did another mutual friend. I have been under the assumption that when Savage brought out the 14 Classic, that it was an upgrade of the older Model 14. I called the friend who wasn't at home about his rifle, but he thought it was a 14, but he is one who doesn't pay attention to model numbers, advising he couldn't recall the model number, other than it was accurate.
I've scoured the internet and this forum for any info if the 14 Classic is a upgrade to a previous model 14. Can't even find any info on a Model 14 other than the 14 Classic. Soooooo.....was there a prior Model 14 or what would the model possibly be. My friends Savage is a no-frills bolt action sort of a 110 styling. The rifle my friend has is one he's had probably at least 20 years-good accurate shooter, will drop a coyote with accuracy. Wondering now if the Models 14 and 114 were a new model number when introduced. Can't find my tell all book that has about every model of firearm every made. Dazed and confused over the question. Help needed!!!!!!!!
Starting to wonder if he has a Model 340 as in looking at some pictures of a 340 Savage it lokks familiar--a no frills wood stock with a barrel.
