This is the FIRST American-made bolt-action sporting rifle sold in this country. A miniaturized Springfield, and styled after the Sedgley Springfield sporters. So well-constructed and finished that rumors said Savage lost money on every one they ever built.

Roy Chapman Andrews, world explorer, Curator of the New York Museum of Natural History (and the "true-life" inspiration for the Indiana Jones character) carried one of these guns to protect his expeditions into Mongolia where he made the first discovery of fossilized Dinosaur eggs.

For more info on the rifle see my thread,
