I'm working from memory and the very few pictures that I've found on the web that show barrel markings, but the left side of the barrel near the receiver SHOULD be marked "Savage Hi-Pressure Steel" and the cartridge for which it is chambered.

The top left of the receiver should be marked SAVAGE Model 20 just off top center, with the serial number under that.

A Savage Model 20 in .300 is another one of my bucketlist rifles.
