Spring catch lock. One-piece stock and forearm of selected American walnut, full curve pistol grip, oil finish. White metal bead front and flat top elevator adjustment rear sight. Receiver tapped for new No. 15 Savage Aperture Rear Sight. Weight about 6 1/2 pounds. It utilized a Magazine which held 5/10-rounds, was detachable and had a curved design. [8] [9][10]
Savage targeted advertising for "Those sportsmen who desire to use the .22 caliber cartridges for shooting squirrels, woodchucks, rabbits, coons, muskrats and other small game valued for fur, or to be exterminated as Pests, will find the Model 23-AA Sporter an ideal small game rifle." [11] [12][13]
HIGH SPEED LOCK. The speed of the lock Is less than 2/1000 of a second. This speed eliminates shift in aim between release of trigger and ignition. [14] [15][16]
