22 pump with clip

Andrew Lyons · 11-23-2007, 08:28 AM

Does anybody know the story on this rifle? It is an older Savage 22 pump and instead of a tube it has a clip. Stumbled across one and didn't know such a think existed.

Guess it does, Welcome to G&G.

Is this it? If so, it's a Savage Model 1903.

Can you tell me anything about this gun

Not much, sadly.

I have an early one (4 digit serial #). Mine is a take down version. I really don't know much about it (got it at a garage sale). I don't even know if a non-takedown version was made.

Hopefully someone here has more info (I'd like to know more myself).

Found this:

From the 25th Edition of the gun Trader's Guide, I find the Savage Model 1903 and the Model 1909, both slide-action with box magazines.
The M1903 was produced from 1903 to 1921, worth $225 in Excellent condition, $153 in Good condition. Octagon barrel.
The M1909 was produced from 1909 to 1915, worth $195 in Excellent, $133 in Good. Round barrel.
Both are listed as "hammerless, take-down".

All other Savage slide-actions had the tubular magazine.

So, a nice old .22LR rifle, but it won't make you rich to sell it.

Thanks for the fast info. I appreciate it.

Of course condition means alot in determining these old gun values. But I think if you'll look at vintage .22 prices on the online gun auction websites, you'll find that often the "Book Values" tend to neglect the increasing collector interest in these guns. And hence give lower than real world values.
Does you rifle work? Tell me more about it.

Righto, 'Strat! Even in different parts of the country, value can vary greatly. If it's rarely seen, it'll command a higher price.

I just grabbed up a 29A round barrel and a 1909 for $400 and figured I did good, still pretty sure on that one.

Also picked up a 1905 swiss butt for $210 last weekend at auction.
