Product Description
The Savage Model 6A is a vintage, highly unique .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle produced by the Savage Arms Company from the late 1930s through the 1960s. It is most famous for its distinctive "click-clack" action (often called a "gill gun"), which delays the rearward movement of the bolt when fired, and its ability to function as a bolt-action or semi-automatic rifle.
