Yeah, the 1920's were one of the first short action, lightweight bolt rifles. Somewhat ahead of their time. Not easily scoped, either. I have a couple of .300's. One was D&T for a sidemount, so its value is for a shooter. The other was Eurobubba'd with an octagon barrel. The first one shoots well, wish it were a .250, even with a slow twist.


I do believe that the 20 was the first domestically produced commercial Mauser based bolt rifle. Though I have never been sure if being ahead of your time has been a smart business move. History is full of companies that folded due to being ahead of their times.
