"There's no doubt this is the murder weapon," says Dinges, of the loaded rifle with a sawed off barrel and stock. It was a rare savage 23D rifle, its serial number obliterated. The gun was last sold in 1949, before records even were kept. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/01/06/48hours/main665304_page4.shtml)
Googling Savage 23d got me this, heh.

Ask the rifle -- take it out and shoot it.

There are some handloading tricks to making .22 Hornets shoot well -- contact me if you have accuracy problems with factory ammo or your handloads.
