Shucker has it on the money.
It is a later (Savage Arms Co) model, vent rib, single trigger, selective ejection. I had its litter mate in a 16 many, many years ago. WHAT A FIELD GUN!!!
I thought I would let the folks here have first shot at it. I only load and shoot the 12 these days, and no longer hunt, or this gun would be in my safe.
Case colors on receiver are virtually 100% and are beautiful. Barrels were checked with guage, and check out Improved Cylinder and Modified.
I am not trying to pull anyone's chain, but pics will not be available until I can get camera and gun together, then come back to the house and download pics.
I almost never sell a gun for anyone else, but this belongs to a good enough friend that I am doing this gratis. Typically when a gun is sold here "for a friend", it is $100 too high.
Stock and forend are spiffy, no cracks or discolored areas. I don't know how this one missed being shot to death, but it is the best one of these I have seen in years.
The instant I saw it, the first words out of my mouth were OMG. LOL
I knew right then there was a guy or gal here that would love to hunt with it.
He needs to sell it, and I asked him to let me sell it for him on this forum.
