Thanks for the helpful info. the only reason i got it at that price was because of the caliber, no one around here wanted it because it was a 32-20 and i made the only offer. thanks again for all the help. so what i have is a 23-c sporter made before 1938

gordon- thanks for the fast reply.I really do not know what i have. it is stamped savage sporter. there is no stamping of "23" although i saw where the 23c is chambered for the 32-20. it does have a schnabel type fore end. i will attempt to attach pictures- thanks bill
