What's Included
- Savage Arms Model 887 .22 LR semi-automatic rifle
The Model 887 uses a semi-automatic blowback action with a hesitation-lock cycle, a hallmark of the Stevens/Savage "Gill Gun/Click-Clack" lineage. Two distinctive receiver "gills" characterize this family and contribute to the model's recognizable profile within Savage's rimfire lineup.
Feeding is via a tube magazine with a 15-round .22 LR capacity. The charging handle is on the right side, providing straightforward operation consistent with the platform's design.
The 19.75 inch barrel is paired with open sights: a drift-adjustable blade on a ramped front and a step-elevator rear. This setup allows practical elevation adjustment at the rear and windage corrections at the front.
The rifle wears a one-piece hardwood sporter stock with pressed checkering and a straight comb. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches. The metal components retain a blued finish, including the receiver.
Markings include a Westfield, Massachusetts barrel address, reflecting U.S. manufacture. The configuration and features align with 1970s-era production.
