No matter what year the rifle was made, it could still have been used in Canadian service. So could a British made rifle. The majority in Cdn service were the made in Canada Long Branch rifles however. These would normally have a L mixed into the serial number.
The C with a little arrow in it denoted that the rifle was Canadian property. The British used just a straight arrow. The US made rifles are not commonly found with the Canadian property marks on them. However, they can be found that way. And with the parts having come to Canada after the US production ceased, there are some real oddities to be found, including receivers with both the Long Branch and Savage markings. Also, there are Savage receivers with Long Branch serial numbers. To sum up, it would not be incorrect to use the Savage as representative of Canadian equipment. However, it would be much more correct to have a Long Branch rifle for the job.

Savage Enfields
I've seen a few of these with two groove barrels. Odd to look through, but they seemed to shoot well.
