Thanks- I went there and looked, but as old J.P. Morgan once said about yachts-- "If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it" Words of sad but true wisdom--
I sorta guessed the SVG might have stood for Savage, thanks for the confirmation. I have Dan Schiendler's 2009 Gun Values book- he makes no mention of the later ownership by Savage--
The Little scout is marked for .22LR- when I fire a .22 short in it, it functions fine- but a .22LR (Remington or CCI) the locking bar will open slightly from the recoil of firing. My guess- back in 1914 when this series came out, .22 ammo wasn't quite what we have to shoot today-- ?? maybe so??
