Anyone seen a Savage Model 1920 lately?

[MadDog]

Curious, same stock as Tiriaq's only uncheckered. Wondering if Fajen or some other custom stock outfit offered them way back when.

I think that is entirely possible. Someone was supplying semifinished stocks.

Numrich had replacements years back. Likely some others. And Fajen would stock pretty much anything. - dan

Saw a couple of them back in the day.

Here's the Savage Model 20 from a Rock Island auction a couple of months ago, just arrived on Saturday. It has a Lyman-logo peep sight on the bolt. I've not had a chance to shoot it as yet. It's in excellent condition.

A lovely trim thing.

Those Lymans are 100% Unobtanium. Congrats on getting one with your rifle.

Lovely rifle! Wish they had come in left hand

Very nice, a real beauty.

I realize this is a thread going on for two years old, however ... I'm starting to reduce my collection of .25 calibre rifles (before my executor daughter has to deal with them) so I'm selling the Savage Model 20 (1920) .250 3000 shown in the pictures a few posts above. As mentioned, it is in excellent condition. It cost me $2183.00 landed here in Whitehorse, Y.T.. I'd like to recover that, plus shipping. I thought I would mention my intention to sell it here, given the knowledgeable folks on this thread, before I list it for sale on the sporting rifles EE.

Thanks.

Dan's not the only one lol, Ken wants to get one as well <--------- lol I'd love to get the 250-3000. I have my grand dad's 1950 250 .... but always wanted this Savage bolt action model, open sights !

If you ever feel the need to send that rifle on to another home, Dan, I'd be happy to help with that.

Me 2! Lol

Awesome looking rifle and neat to read about for sure

edit: i don't know what i the hell i was reading, they seem to be between 5.75 and 6.75 pounds

 

[tiriaq]

I don't know what mine weighs, but even restocked, with the scope, its not 10 pounds.

 

[wjklassen]

The M0del 20 shown in the pictures above weighs just a shade under 7 pounds.

Curious if you would have a photo of your rifle?

Sorry, sold it. To Dark Alley Dan if I remember right. Might have an old Pic on my computer somewhere. - dan

Bid on one with some auction and guess nobody else wanted it. Is in 300 Savage so have to make ammo for it as only had empty cases. Nice light rifle and the peep sight is different.

300 Savage ammo is still being made, I see it fairly often. - dan

It's the 60 sum bucks a box makes me fill the many empties I have.

I get that, I reload for pretty much everything I own that's centerfire. - dan
