Sears and Roebuck 30/30

I picked up a sears model 101 53521 30/30 at an auction today. Looking at it I'm assuming it is a savage or stevens, anyone know for sure and when they were built.

Built by Savage, same as Savage Mod. 340. Produced 1950 to 1985.

I have the same variant of Savage 340. Shoots well and is a nice handling little gun. Perfect woods rifle in my opinion.

I have heard good things about the 340'sm but never shot one.
I am a lefty when it comes to shooting and usually shy away from bolt guns, and sure didn't need another 30/30, BUUUUT when the auctioneer held it up I could see the barrel nut and figured savage and the bidding was just too slow to pass up. lol
