Do I have a Savage sniper?

[Badger]

I would appreciate an expert opinion about the provenance and authenticity of this "sniper" No4Mk1*.

Thank you.

Hi ....

Pics would be helpful, however, if you want to compare your Savage Enfield against an "all correct" as originally issued one, go to the England - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here) and view two different entries.

There's an 82 picture photo gallery montage for a 1943 Savage No.4 Mk1* Enfield Rifle (click here).

Also, with thanks to Advisory Panel member Lance, there's also a rare "all correct" 1942 No.4 Mk1*(T) Savage Sniper Rifle (less scope) (click here) .....

Lance's article, accompanied by a detailed 165 pic photo montage, speaks to this example as being one of approximately 3,400 Savage rifles converted by Holland and Holland and re-barreled with an Enfield 5 groove barrel, however, it was never fitted with a matching No.32 scope.

Hope this helps...

Regards,
Badger
