[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 4193912, member: 34578"] These Aussie guns are certainly a bit different. (Which I expected.) The Model 87 is using the "new" style band extractor with the "old" Savage bolt style. The hammer and recoil springs are not captured. The hammer, bolt, and guide rod are not cut out for it to be captured either. Makes it a pain to reassemble. The inner magazine tube is steel instead of brass. The lifter has an extra spring to push it back down. (Why?) The model 2 is closer to the original Savage 7 design. So much so that it appears a Savage magazine will work in place of the worn out original. I will verify function this weekend. I don't have a Savage 7/Stevens 85 nearby to compare differences atm. And the front sights on both are the same, but a different style than the Savage one. They have a bead, but the back is rounded over. Kinda looks like a shark fin. [/QUOTE]
