Hey all,
Ran across a rifle today that appears to be a modified Savage - the Savage buttplate is still there, but all the maker's identifiying marks were removed and the serial number is now "SSC00xx" with a VERY low x. The owner swore it was a "Savage Service Corporation" rifle, but I can't find any information on such a place. A barrel weight has been added...I'd be willing to believe it was some sort of custom shop job.
And yes, I know Savage is officially "Savage Sports Corporation," but the xx is so low, I have a hard time believing it's actually a Savage-issued serial number. And then there's the question of what happened to the Savage company markings...
Anyone know anything about this?
