l'm new to this site but nor to guns l have been shooting since the mid 50s, Sad to say but at this time l don't own a Savage rifle, 5 years ago l sold my last Savage it was 112V J action single shot 26" barrel in 22-250, that l bought new in 1976 it's pictured in my avatar.
l have to get my son to join this sight he just bought a Savage 12 LRPV in 223 beast of a rifle only want to use it for target shooting, it only took him 50 years to get into owning a rifle.

Here is a picture of me in 1976 up state NY chuck hunting with my Savage, l wish l still had my 1967 Ford wagon, that was my SUV back then air shocks on all four controlled, with air pump controlled from in side the car.
