* December, 1968 – 2001+ : Dates for rifles in this time frame are dates that serial numbers were stamped on the receivers during the manufacturing process. Any given rifle might be shipped months or years after the average rifle in that serial number range. So these dates can vary even more than the accepted from factory dates for the “average” ship time. Rifles weren’t always shipped in order, and some models/chamberings sold better than others and thus sat in the shipping dept longer. Savage Arms no longer recorded the accepted from factory dates in the ledgers. * Fall of 1926 – December, 1968 : The dates in this serial range are when the rifles were shipped from the factory. Any given rifle might be finished months or even a year+ later than the average rifle in that serial number range, though. From there it would have been stored and ready to ship. * 1895 – fall of 1926 : The dates returned above are the date the rifles probably was finished and accepted from the factory. The ledgers record different things over time, and we use the “best” dates that we have for each year. What Is The Date? So, what does a “ Date“ returned from a web site or book for your Savage rifle actually mean? Well, what it means varies by time periods.
