Savage T sniper question

Brian:

You are correct sir, and as sharp as ever. The early (1942) one I had was indeed replaced with British walnut, I assume when the barrel was swapped out to a five-groove. After all the years, I forgot the fine details. I do remember I paid $350 for it. This was the same time unwrapped No 4's were selling for $179, and SKS' were $59. $350 seemed like a lot back then. If I had only kept it...

The beat-up one was birch, as is my current savage. Albeit, its an un-numbered Savage replacement.

Cheesy411: when you get the rifle and if you decide to keep it, PM me, re: sight swap.

If all checks out and it is the real deal I plan on keeping it, I was trying to save some money but I’m sucker for anything commonwealth let alone no4 snipers. I listed a few things to make my purchase lol.
