I recently picked up a Savage 65 in .22 Magnum at a pawn shop for $50. Extremely dirty gun in poor condition, probably the dirtiest gun I've seen with little bluing remaining on its barrel or receiver. I've got it all cleaned up though and cycling, shooting good. It's something like a Mossberg Chuckster 640 but the design of this rifle doesn't allow for easy cleaning nor easy single loading. It also seems to have a very heavy and crude trigger.
I can't find much information on these rifles besides the fact they were only produced for 4 years between 1969 and 1973. Are they scarce? Do they have any collectible value? Does anyone have any additional information on them?
