A few years ago, at the local spot shoot, they’d been having a 22 shoot, a guy shows up and starts cleaning up!…someone asked “what you shooting?” He replied I bought a savage from Whitakers in Owensboro…Whittaker’s had bought an over run from savage that was made for the Canadian market…smooth bore 22 bolt action rifles made for pest control!…the next shoot, everyone showed up with them!

I worked at a shop that had guy showing up and asking us to mount and bore sight in all these savage guns…then we started getting calls asking if we could get them, we couldn’t as Whittaker bought every one they had!…and now I think they’re a catalog item available everyday, and I know Henry makes one (I think they call it a garden gun)…you might have better luck with that

Yes, I have one of those Savage bolt actions. The difference in shooting .22 shot through it versus a rifled bore is worlds apart.

Henry garden gun is what you want.
Right at $400, it will be less expensive, have a factory warranty, and who doesn't like a Henry?

I have a garden gun and it is more fun than should be allowed by law.
