I'm just a noob, but you've been here one month shy of 20 years. Where are the pics OP?

Sounds like a score. And a good reason to venture to a fun show from time to time.

Sounds like a great deal on both the Savage and the GP11! I picked up a Savage about 17 years ago for $190, no bayo or sling and it is a great rifle. Considering the prices of C&R's these days you did very well.

I had a savage enfield for about 15-20 years.
I vividly recall buying it at a gun show out of a pile of surplus #4’s for 99 bucks with marching bayonet. Shot it a ton then sold it for $400 a great rifle and got my fun out of it then a both buyer and seller happy when I re homed it at a great profit. Doesn’t get better than that. |

OK...you guys talked me into it.
   The bolt is unfortunately a mismatch, but it IS a Savage bolt. It numbers about 40,000 units below the receiver (56C vs 60C). The magazine is also a British make, but everything else looks to be Savage stamped. The sling has no legible markings. EDIT: forgot to mention the stacking rod that clearly doesn't belong there. What's that from?? Any and all comments are welcome. Rob |

Is the 303 ammo corrosive?

Nice score! Does it still have the US PROPERTY Stamp. The wood is very nice.

That green box S&B .303 is good stuff. I still have a couple hundred rounds of it. Back 20 or so years ago when I got my Savage I was amazed how many parts were stamped with the Savage S. Easier to list what was not stamped than what was.

You did ok, for a Turk import it's a nice one. They were $250ish bit more for US marked ten or so yrs ago. Dug through a bunch at local Big5 stores when they came in most were trashed but a few gems.
I would leave the Turk stacking bar myself but you can remove and store in butt stock so it stays with rifle. |
