Description:
******POST-WAR/MODERN******SPORTING RIFLE******SAVAGE SUPER SPORTER**************************************************************************************************************************

Rare and now famous, with a limited production run of 6,000 rifles produced between 1928-1940, designed and made to be direct competiton for the Mauser sporting rifle. The Savage Super Sporter had dual, opposing locking lugs, but they were located amidships on the bolt, rather than at the front end like most Mauser, Springfield, Winchester, Remington, and other bolt-action designs.
the locking lugs are located in the middle of the bolt. The locking-lug recesses are in the rear receiver ring, and the bolt handle serves as a backup lug. Up front, twin extractors click over the cartridge case rim when the bolt goes into battery, providing redundant extraction. A fixed ejector rides in a slot machined into the bottom of the bolt at about 8 o’clock; it launches fired cases out the ejection port lightly or powerfully, depending on how fast you work the bolt. Like many old rifle action types, the Super Sporter’s cocking piece has a knurled knob on the rear. This enables the shooter to pull it back and cock the firing pin without opening the bolt, should a primer prove to be reluctant and need another whack. The safety is odd but cool. It’s a steel strap that circles the lower half of the rear receiver ring. Lift the steel tab behind the bolt to engage the safety; press it down to put the safety in the “Fire” position.  Overall, A very sought after part of savage hunting history.

This rifle is in beautiful overall condition, VF, about 90% grade, it's only flaw, is that at sometime in its life, the rear dovetail sight was removed to accomodate its scope. Which did not affect any other functionality with the rifle. It is an amazing accurate rifle and I would not hesitate to hunt with it out to 200 yards or even a bit more. Highly recommend Hornady 180gr.
