Mystery .22

[BOHROK]

Hi CGN, about half a year ago I bought a .22 at an auction and have no idea what it is. Its shoots very nice I quite like it but there are nor maker marks on it at all except it says not english make. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what it is but that action looks exactly like a Savage Model 3 or 4 but with a tube mag.

I was thinking savage because of the safety but no where on the rifle does it say savage. I took it completely apart and not a single maker mark.

Any indication on the but pad or possible under the but pad.
Have you taken the stock off?
I know there is someone on here that will help with the proof marks.

I have taken the stock off and nothing, I just removed the but pad and no name under there. The inside of the but pad had the numbers 25 on top of 16653 if that helps.

Looks a little like this one

Looks like a Savage Model 5. The "NOT ENGLISH MAKE" stamp was due to English import/export regulations. Any gun retailed in Britain was also required to go through the proof house, which is why it has Birmingham proof marks on it. The "P-H" on the right side may indicate it was retailed by Parker Hale.

Nice little gun. I'm jealous.

Thank you very much, that really gives me a lot of information for this little .22! It’s neat to know this little rifle has been on quite a journey in its lifetime. Thank you all again so much!

That was my thoughts also on that. Sold in England.
