This basic rifle action has been produced for decades, and in many models.
The Savage Model 6 began the dynasty, with production from 1938 to 1968. They were sold by many different companies, such as Sears, Stevens, and Springfield, and under various 'store brand' names. It all culminated in the Savage-Stevens Model 987, produced from 1981 to 1989.
There was even a military trainer version set-up to resemble the M1 Garand during WWII.

I have the Springfield Model 87A also - great little rifle. It easily outshoots my 2001 model Ruger 10-22 Rifle.
