Savage made a few long action 1920s in 256 Newton, 7x57, 30-06, and even 303 British.

The origin of the 1920 was Savage's attempt to offer the U.S. and British governments optional main battle rifles during WW1. The U.S. chose the 1917 Enfield, already in production as the P-14 in 303 British and easily modified to work in 30-06. The 1920 in 303 British looks like a hybrid of the SMLE with a 1920 receiver. The 7x57 rifles were intended to be sold to Central and South American countries as a replacement for the Remington Rolling Blocks and the pre-1898 style Mausers that were widely in use.
