Picked up a Savage 112 in 220 Swift today. Had seen it at a local gun shop a couple weeks ago and did some research and decided to buy it today if they still had it.
Seems to have had little use, pretty clean rifle with 1 small mark in stock. Heavy fluted barrel, nice trigger, very light, I would guess just under 1 lb. Single shot solid long action, just over 5" between action screws. Took it out of the laminated stock and it looks to be pillar bedded.
Couple questions, going to get a better scope mount, looks like I will need a long action with flat rear, is that correct? Put a Lyman 20X on it for now using the mounts and rings the rifle came with.
Another question is with the trigger, looked stock to me, like I said it is set very light, could these triggers be set light safely? have worked the bolt several times and trigger does not trip, safety does work.
Anyone have any idea when the rifle dates from?
I already reload for 220 Swift so should get it out to the range this week and see what it will do.
Here are a few pictures,
