The serial number, however, is within the range of several other known Savage No4T's, so it could be 'pukka'.
There do seem to be a lot of small negatives.

From handling it, and hearing some of its plausible but un evidenced history from someone I know, I do think it is a t, however I would very much welcome thoughts from others.

My issue is it the price I have seen a number of Ts without chests, tins at but there are a number of small negatives. The biggest to me is I can only justify this purchase of it is a rifle I could, if push came to shove sell for £4-4.5K, my concern is small negatives, the unmatched scope, and maybe mount as well out of service fettling by fultons make that tricky.
The other issue is my key interest is the accuracy of the platform at the time and this one has been improved, admittedly I can square that be telling my self this showed the platforms potential...

Finally is that a “t” completion stamp on the back of the recover behind the sight bridge above the wrist to the right of the bolt track... and if so does that help or hinder... it isn’t really exactly on the right of the left side wall of the reciver as I would expect... l
