Likely, knew most guys that hung out in both those places, and spent a ton of time at phoenix when Bob and the guys were running it. - dan
I did , which means I know you too lol . Ted and Stan were a pair , I miss both of them , along with Blair .
I worked with Ted for a few years (ok, a dozen or so) at CN, he was a good guy. As were the others. - dan

There was a fellow worked at Trail, then briefly at Phoenix - blonde he was, and when he grew a beard he looked just like Doctor Zaius from Planet fo the Apes. I shot with him once at Tofield - CAS shoot in the spring. He had a buffalo vest that was the envy of the other, more hypothermic attendees. 
What was his name?

Curious if you would have a photo of your rifle?

That sounds like it might be Larry. I remember him mentioning that shoot to me.

Still have mine (300 Sav) with the Lyman #54 peep, will be the last to go or maybe get buried with me.
A nice collection of Savages , the 1920 looks to be in great shape . Thanks for posting .
I've just acquired a Savage Model 20 in .250-3000 with the Lyman bolt mounted peep sight and the 24 inch barrel on a recent Rock Island auction. Just waiting for it to arrive. I'll post a picture when I have it in hand.

Please do, bud. I'm very curious about that sight.

Beautiful. You really wouldn't bury a fine old rifle like that, would you?
Here is my custom 1920. It was purchased in 1951 by an RCMP officer in Pond Inlet from an expedition that came through. The rifle was vintage then, having a 1200-odd serial number.
The scope is a Noske, detachable side mount. 1930s setup. Windage adjustments in the mount. Post reticle. No idea who restocked it, mounted the scope, altered the bolt handle. The work is well done.
.250. Slow twist for 87gr bullets. It has a bit of excess headspace; no problem if handloading.

Heyyah Joe Joe, go looky at my first trayder rayt'in.
Owwz's yer memory?
I beleaf I mailed you sum brown ones.................
Wow, now I feel like I created a monster.
Had a few 1920's and 26's come through the door. I remember buying and selling one because it never had checkering on the stock and thought it was aftermarket but I've seen a few since then and now I'm thinking a bunch must have left the factory uncheckered and it may have been original.
Theres a 1920 in the on line C&R Endeavors auction right now.
Lots of nasty going on though unfortunately.
