Hello all. I'm new in the "neighborhood"; please pardon me if I've posted my question in an inappropriate forum.

After many years of being in my family, a nicely hand-engraved Savage Super Sporter bolt action 30-06 Springfield rifle has come my way. It belonged to my grandfather, who I remember having had it as far back as perhaps the late 60's(?). I shot it often in my teens, back in the early 70's, and always found it to be a very responsive and accurate rifle.

Since it passed to me, I've tried to find information about this model, but there seems to be very little of it, indeed. The only information on the barrel is:

"Hi-Pressure Steel-Proof Tested"

".30-'06 Springfield"

"Savage Super Sporter"

"14456"

Can someone provide me with a little info about this Super Sporter model, or where I mind find data?

Thanks to all in advance.
