Scored a superb Savage Model 6A yesterday.
For those unfamiliar, its a semi auto .22 that can also function as a manually operated repeater by pushing the charging handle in when the bolt is forward. In that condition, it will feed .22 shorts and longs.
They call them " click clacks" due to the way the bolt works. If you use proper trigger control, the bolt is held to the rear ,after a shot, until you release the trigger. It the goes forward and you're ready to fire again. It isn't an open bolt.
So when shooting, they go Bang clack Bang clack.
They're also called " gill guns" because of the slots in the receiver, which are designed to give fouling an exit.
Mine is a pre WW2 Ithaca NY production, with a nice, dark checkered walnut stock. It should have an aperture sight, which I'm looking for...
Can't wait to shoot her. Had a couple over the years, but never one this nice. They're accurate, reliable and a hoot to shoot. Get a lot of " What the???"at the range.
