Re: Savage 511 Shotgun question.

I phoned the seller today and spoke to a charming young lady named Sue, she gave me a detailed description of the gun and the dings and scratches etc and confirmed it is a 311 series H, so I bought it there and then, just waiting for delivery. I know it's not a top of range custom double but what th...

Re: Savage 511 Shotgun question.

The seller has not replied to my email :roll: but I have done a bit more research and I think the shotgun could be a 311 and not a 511.
I have emailed the seller again as I'm more keen on the model 311. :D
