savage bolt in 303?

Saw a buddy today, says he bought a savage bolt rifle in 303. said its not an old rifle, not the enfield style. i have not seen the rifle, or the bullets, but he said the bullets are on the style of the enfield. any clues, anyone?

gonna look at it tomarrow, well see what it is. try to take pictures

Cool let us know what you find.

303 British........... Military bullet is 174gr FMJ. Ammo is a little expensive now.

reload, reload

Never seen a bolt action Savage in 303 British or 303 Savage. Savage did make the 99 lever gun in 303 Savage not 303 British.

Could be a 340 or a 40 or 45 Super Sporter. The 340 was made in .30-30. The others in .30-06 and perhaps .303 Savage. Had a Model 45 Savage Super Sporter once. It kicked so hard it was no fun to shoot.

If it is a newer rifle it could be a 110 in 300 Savage, they made a few to for the 50 anniv of the Model 110 a few years ago.

what we have here is an enfield mark 1 made by savage. someone put a synthitic sporter stock on it and a scope.nice looking rifle. got to see if i can get a DOM on it.

I had one of the savage / enfield rifles. It had property of U.S. or something like that stamped on the side of the ejection port. That supposedly made it more collectible... or so I was told.

Yep, it has those markings on it, but, the barrel has been cut and re crowned, sporter stock and scope. so, its really de-valued, but shoots good. 43 or 42 year.

Its still a cool rifle. I have a plain ole number 4 mark 1 that has been shortened/sporterized and crowned. No real value but nice shooter. You have bragging rights, yours is american made.
