Savage/Stevens/Fox Model B: Undervalued classics?

[Daryl Hallquist]

On the other end of the Stevens doubles was the Model 385. Made in the teens or a bit later, it had Krupp barrels.

16ga, marked Springfield, J. Stevens Arms Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass USA and stamped 5100 on other side. Barrels are stamped Selected Forged Steel and Proof Tested 16ga, 2-3/4" chamber...



20ga, marked Ranger 101.6 and stamped 5100 on other side; same barrel stampings...



.410 actually marked STEVENS with the bird dog, J. Stevens Arms Co. etc. and 5100 on other side, same barrel stampings (3" chambers)...



Daryl I've seen that awesome Stevens several times before and always loved it; is it yours?

Phil, yes the gun is mine. It is one of about 6 185s I have seen in 50 years, but by far the best. I have had maybe 3 Model 175s which are nice guns in their own right. Someday soon I will have to give up a lot of the fine tuned collection, for enjoyment by others. Daryl

I think Daryl means 385 and 375.

Dave, of course you are right. I was thinking wrong. I always enjoy your posts with all of the information that others cannot offer. Thanks for that. Daryl
