| Fatstrat, not meaning to sound snide but what were you using for references?
The Stevens 58 although not listed in my 45 catalog is listed in the 1949 catalog as the model 258 till 1952 when Savage narrowed it down to the model 58 and is listed up till 1979 and the 1980 catalog drops it from the listings. So more or less it was made for over 25 years.
Same with the 94, it was made for a large amount of time as well, usually listed under the 220 Savage in the catalogs, the only difference between the two was that the 220 was hammerless and the 94 had an exposed hammer. |
