Our Assessment: This is a “boy’s rifle” made before the Great Depression. It may well be the type of rifle your father, or even your grandfather had for his 1st rifle. Hopefully, during the depression it accounted for its share of small game for the pot. It is a little piece of affordable firearms history, made by a company later acquired by Savage/Stevens.
