I have my grandpa's old Stevens 87b. He bought it brand new in 1957, and it was his gopher gun until he passed away. I absolutely love it. The only issue it has is a problem with ejecting spent cases (I even got new extractors, springs, etc, for it, but the problem persists). It has a peep sight and easily hits spent shotgun cases at 35 yards. Even with the ejecting issue, it is my favorite gun to shoot.

Hi Mick - Just to add to the history part of your discussion, I inherited a Ranger 101.11A from my father who acquired (not new) in 1953. I a pretty sure the early Ranger models (which this is) was made by the Savage Arms Corporation and sold by the Sears Roebuck Company. Because of some markings on the barrel, I believe my rifle, like yoiurs was made in the late 1930s or very early 1940s.
Very cool! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share. If you haven't already, I hope you'll check out my other "Mick Mac" Tabletop Review videos on UA-cam.

How many patent numbers are on the side of the barrel on that 6A? The patent numbers can be used to help determine when it was made. For example, rifles with an RE prefix patent are post war. I have a model 6 with a single patent, a 6A with two patent numbers (no RE patent), along with an 87T, 187J, wards western field 87A and a few others.
That is true. Mine has four patent numbers, none with RE prefix. With its carved checkering walnut stock, drilled and tapped holes for a scope mount, Utica, N.Y. location of manufacture and no serial number it can be dated to pre-WW-II, probably about 1939.

Nice pick up. I think you did well at $190 considering the rifle looks to be in good/VG condition with a walnut stock. Oh, and just so you'll know - it's pronounced CHICK-o-pee Falls.

Neat old gun! I did cringe a little, though, when you stated the Model 7 was 'clip fed'. Do you have any experience with the French X51 Bis? It's a really neat design .22LR carbine.
No I haven't. I'll look into the French X51. Thanks. As for the Savage Model 7 and 7a, I've been told they were auto-loader semiautomatics, but a pump-action version was made as well. Otherwise, images seem to show them equipped with a magazine under the receiver. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

@@mickmacstabletopreviews8466 patent 2271576 wasn't granted until 1942. With four patent numbers, 1939 wouldn't be possible.
Thanks or the info.
