The Model 775 is the designated "Lightweight" variant, built on an aluminum alloy receiver that retains the Auto-5–style humpback profile. Decorative scroll panels add a touch of refinement, and the receiver top features anti-glare serrations.
The 28-inch plain (non-rib) barrel is threaded for the Cutts base and currently wears a Lyman Cutts Compensator. A single front bead is mounted on the Cutts body, and the removable choke tube installed is marked "M.G. 725." The Cutts system provides interchangeable choke capability.
This shotgun uses a long-recoil, semi-automatic action with right-side ejection and bottom loading. Capacity is noted as 3 rounds. The barrel is rollmarked "Savage Arms Corporation, Chicopee Falls, Mass., U.S.A."
The furniture includes a walnut pistol-grip stock with checkering and a hard buttplate, paired with a matching walnut forend. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and the overall setup maintains a classic field profile with straightforward handling.
