Old Savage bolt action 22LR

[Huntinmechanic]

I'm curious if anybody can help me ID this rifle? It's a fun little tack driver. I would like to locate another magazine for it. It was inherited and has been sitting in the safe for ten years. My 9 y/o is in the process of "restoring" it. While we're on that subject, what does everybody recommend for could bluing? Thanks.

Not cold bluing, but I’ve had great success rust bluing with this product. I built a steaming pipe instead of a water tank and results were great. https://www.rustblue.com/shop/bluing/rust-blue-american/

Oddly I just found the same rifle in an old gun safe I had forgotten about in my father's basement last week. Mine has "Savage Sporter" barely legible on the barrel. I need to look up the date of manufacture just to see how old it really is. According to my father I got it when I was still a teenager and forgot about it when I left for the army 2 decades ago. I will update this post if I find the date.

Found this - no idea how accurate the info is.
