Pull the bolt and post a pic. That may be telling.
Judging by the stock, looks like a Weatherby. But defiantly take the scope rail off. Also take the stock off and look for markings on the bottom of the barrel.
Why is that one piece scope rail cut?
What's it weigh?
Good catch ray, I was thinking weatherby because of the stock but said savage.

Pretty sure the only things that are original on that rifle, is the receiver and the bolt. I will bet that the barrel and stock were both made around that action. Have fun figuring out what it is. Take off that shitty aftermarket mount on top of the action also.
For real it looks so haggardQuote:

Serial numbers higher than F498821 were made after November 1, 1995 under the current Savage ownership and are eligible for factory repair/warranty work."

Well i had a guy look into it and take it a part. Turns out it is a Howa action from 1993 outside of the range or serial numbers affected by bolt issues. The barrel is a Kieger profile #13 2 inch diameter throughout chambered in .308 unsure on the stock either Howa or Weatherby nicely done to accommodate the HUGE barrel.
Thanks for helping!
Weatherby bottom metal.
