Savage Arms
Anyone have an opinion about the newer savage rifles, specificly the model 112-fvss-s. It's a single shot, med-heavy barrel,grey syn stock,in 220 swift. It comes with rings, and 400 rounds of 55 gr reloads. 450.00. I figure the brass is worth 150.00, and 100.00? for bullets. How do they shoot?

I have another question about a different gun. I have a savage Arms 12 guage auto. It was made in Utica, NY. It has model 775A on the stock by the trigger guard and model 720 on the barrel. I'd like to know if anyone knows the date of manufature and the current value for it?? I have pictures of it if you need them to tell. I think the serial # is 282269

All I can help you with, comes out of the B B. It appears from your description that a previous owner has either changed barrels or stocks to restore a shotgun.
1), Savage made the Model 720 Shotgun between 1930 & 1949, it was their version of the Browning Auto 5.
2), The Model 775 was made between 1950 & 1965, it appears to be a modernized version of the 720, with a streamlined alloy receiver.
If your shotgun has a steel "humpback" receiver, it was originally manufactured as a M-720, "Rounded" Aluminum it was a M-775.

My Dad's old shotgun is a 775A. I have it now. The serial # is 206XXX. He bought it in early 1950, used but like new. The barrel on this gun is serial numbered and matches the receiver - I believe someone has changed the barrel out on yours.
What condition is your receiver in? What guage is it? Just curious - I grew up shooting this gun and it was a duck getter.
I also have a 755 which is just like the 775A but with a steel receiver. Hope this helps some.

PS,
The serial # number on mine is on the bottom/front of the receiver. You have to tremove to barrel to see the serial number on it, it is on the bottom/rear.
After reading your post again I see yours is a 12 GA.

The receiver is in great condition. I have pictures of it but not sure how to put them on here.

I have one like yours. They are very nice and shoot great but tend to develop cracks in the forearm with age and use. Mine cost $169 from a pawn shop in very good condition. Book value, Standard Catalog of Firearms, is $175 in good condition to $275 in excellent condition. 0
