Can anyone identify which model savage this is? I just got it in a trade. Ignore the "Savage X" on the body as I believe the previous owner just got the X Body. I know it's not an X. I believe it might be a Savage 25 though, but not 100% sure since this is the first one I've owned.

I'll take some pics of it tonight, but this is the one he sent me:

I found some paperwork in the box (printed manual) that says it's a Savage 3.5

Here are a few more pics:

Looks like it has FLM TVPs installed as well, which is why I couldn't match those up to any pics.
 
looks like a mix of modern and past savage parts mounted to a set of extended FLM vertical plates and motormount. newer X radio box, older savage style uprights,bulkheads,differential case, and arms. judging by the few mods i see, there may be modern shimmed cups in those differentials, there may not be.
the stainless brakepads are junk. dont think the motor is HPI, may be an SH. older 2spd tranny. alot of dirt

I picked up a savage used and my savage which has been identified as a .25 looks very similar to yours. It has the same front end and rear end along with the steel brake pads. As mentioned it does have some newer parts on it and those chassis plates are definitely not stock.
