Need info on Savage .22 short only auto rifle
I saw this one today in a gun shop. It goes on sale tomorrow. What can you tell me about it and also what it's worth. It is a pre-war .22 auto in .22 short caliber only.The stock is checkered walnut, the action has "gills" like many other Savage/Stevens .22's. The magazine is tubular under the barrel. It is a Model 6 I believe. Condition is well used, about good, but still very solid and original. Thanks for any replies.

"The Savage Model 6A-6AB-6B-6C-6D are the same also Stevens and Springfield 187-87A/AB/AT/B/C/D and 87A-87K.
1938 the Stevens 87 was first made with a production of 19,415.
Amazingly good shooters for mass-market guns. I've had two Model 87A's, the first a Ranger 101.sumthing" that was stolen awhile back. My current one is a Springfield 87A - eight slots on the leftside of the receiver and one in front of the ejection port.
It's a tackdriver, and puts to shame my near-new Ruger 10-22 and Marlin M60. They just can't compete. I wish Savage would reintroduce this design - it wouldn't cost any more to produce than any standard .22 semiauto."
... depending on condition I would imagine it'd average around $100 or less - more if excellent condition.

I bought it today for $75 plus tax. It is a Savage Model 602 and not a 6 as I thought. Still it is exactly like a 6 but shoots .22 shorts only. I have to clean it up later tonight and will try it tomorrow. Thank you for all the information. I hope this one shoots as good as those you've had.
