No. The 2 3/4 means Two and Three Quarters Inch shells (or shorter).
I recently purchased a new savage .22 clip for my old 7a and used a grinder to put a notch in it so it looked like the old clip and it works great
Take it to a gunsmith for verification
I assume you mean a Savage Model 170 rifle. The link below will take you to a website with photos of a Savage 170.
You need to take it to a gunsmith so it can be thoroughly checked.
I cannot find a "Savage Model 59A" in any reference book - are you certain of the model number? There is a common Savage rifle, the Model 99A, which was chambered for .303, .30-30, or .300 Savage. The caliber markings will be on the barrel. If it is a .22 then it is almost always chambered for .22 Long Rifle. If it is chambered for .22 short, it will be marked as such. If in doubt, take the gun to a local gunsmith for a professional appraisal. The savage arms 59a is a bolt action 410 shotgun. Should have Stevens name on it above savage arms corporation.
Recommend you ask a gunsmith for help and watch
Standard 16 gauge shotgun shells.
First, the 30-30 cartridge did not exist in 1833, so I take it you meant 1933. You did not say what model of Savage rifle, but the Savage 99 was a very poular rifle. The value will depend on the exact model and condition, but could run $200-$500. Give us more information, and we may be able to narrow things down.
Your rifle was made by Savage for Western Auto. It is a Savage Model 46. You can contact Savage for an owners manual. It is a very basic bolt action. Remove the screw on the underside of the forearm to take action out of stock. Push the 2 pins out that hold the trigger group in place, and you can remove the bolt. gunpartscorp was a schematic at their website, under savage 46.
Is it marked "3 in" on the side of the barrel or receiver? If not, take it to a gunsmith and ask him to measure the chambers. Blue Book doesn't indicate a B series, and this COULD have been Savage's way of indicating longer chambers. Since the first model 220's were made in 1938, it is quite possible that the chambers are only 2 3/4 and, although a 3" shell would go in, the crimped or rolled end could not open fully.
Those I've seen take 2 3/4 or shorter.
