Great to be here...I am a retired Pennsylvania teacher, and now after studies et al, the pastor of a church in Dubois, PA. I am the happy owner of a Savage "Tiger Shark" 308 with laminated stock....I would really like to know when the gun was manufactured, anything about this rifle. I have competed in National Smallbore Silhouette, 4th in class A. I enjoy IDPA with my Glock 21 .45 acp, and I really like sniping eggs at 200 yards with my CZ .223 Varmint. Most of all, I am excited to begin shooting my Savage. Thanks for reading and I send my best regards to you on this forum.
