I have inherited a Savage Sporter that was my father's. It sounds similar to the one described earlier as to dates and markings, but on this one it is identified as 32-20-SAFE (instead of 25-20-SAFE). The magazine says 25-20 or 32-20 (both written just like that). The serial number under the butt plate is 32493. Can anyone tell me any more about this gun? My 12 year old son has discovered target shooting and he seems to have my dad's "deadeye shot". Can I still buy appropriate ammo for this gun and is it safe? My dad was born in 1925 and was the last of six boys who may have used it before him. It has a good amount of wear but appears in pretty good shape. Thanks
