Not knowing the exact date of manufacture for my 93R17. I called Savage & talked with a young lady that was very helpful. She gave me all the information about my rifle.
I got the following numbers from their web. site.
413-568-7001
1800-370-0708 (computer generated directory info with this #). I opted for the other # less than 30 sec. was talking with the young lady.
Hope this will be beneficial.
