Greetings.
My buddy has an old 22lr. rifle with the above model #. I think it is the neatest designed .22 semiauto I've ever fired. It has the tubular magazine under the barrel (ala Marlin 60). Here's the neat part. You can use the rifle as a semiauto OR a bolt action. You leave the bolt handle out for semiauto, and push it in to lock the bolt. When on semiauto, the bolt stays back after firing and doesn't close until you release/reset the trigger. The receiver also has some funky "vent" cuts in it. The barrel was long-probably 22-24".
Does Savage or anyone for that matter still make such a beast? I have no idea how old this rifle was, but I'd guess 50 years old. Anyone know where I can get my hands on one?
Thanks!
