I'm with TJW on the rifle, although that does seem like a rare chambering in a Savage, especially if the barrel and chamber are original to that rifle. I have seen similar scope and mount setups, such as yours, around $300.
Those old externally adjustable Tascos are considered to be better scopes than most Tascos.
But that type of scope and mounting system is obsolescent or obsolete. Vintage Lyman or Unertls are more desireable. I think the scope mounting setup would be better if the rear adjustable mount were on the rear receiver ring. If the mounts are further apart the adjustments will be much more sensitive.
The Savage is no doubt a dandy shooter.
Basically you have a bit of a vintage rig. A fun shooter. Going to have to find a buyer who is an enthusiast.
You can always bring your asking price down in weekly increments. It'll sell when the price is right.

I want to thank you guys for helping me out.
The barrel is marked Savage Model 112 .222
I am wondering if I should sell rifle and scope seperately.
I've taken a look at the mounting blocks and wonder how you mount
a regular scope on this rifle.
I'm just not that knowledgeable on this type of rifle or scope setup.
I take it this rifle has been drilled and tapped to take 2 extra mounting blocks
for the Tasco?

Older varmint rifles were frequently drilled and tapped on the barrel for the long external adjust ment scopes.
The receiver ring and rear bridge will be drilled and tapped for conventional scope mounts.
When I mentionned spacing of the mounts, I think blocks on the rear bridge and on the barrel would give a better setup.
Very few - if any - factory rifles are now drilled and tapped for the long scopes. The scope, by itself would not be the easiest one to mount on most rifles.
The rifle has the first version of a midlength action. Not all that common. It would certainly be olf interest to Savage fans .222 is an excellent cartridge, although it has been eclipsed by the .223.
I don't know if it would make much difference if you sold it as a package or broke it up.

One advantage of an external adjustment scope is that it can be possible to get lots of elevation for long range shooting, while the reticle is kept centered in the scope. I bought an externally adjustable Unertl BV-20 at an auction, because I couldn't let it go at the price. Turns out the BV-20 is a preferred scope for extra long range hunting.
I have a 112 Savage that was originally in .220 Swift. You don't see many of these older single shots. The rifle was salvage grade, I rebuilt it with a premium barrel in .223, as a target rifle.

This is all good information guys.
Thanks for taking a moment to help me out.
It would seem the best idea is to sell scope and rifle together.
Now all I have to do is take some better pics,figure out an asking price
and post it up.
I'll have to wait till after the CGN blackout.

$700 for the package, 600 if you want to sell it fast. - dan
