If we are as far afield as Stevens, how about the 425 and its brothers? Sure, Stevens is valid. I filled a specific milsurp void with a Savage Enfield which I think were actually made at the Stevens plant. And with this brand I could add a Stevens 414 Armory as a kind of the big brother to my full stock Savage 19.

Truth though, I've probably bought a half dozen firearms in the last 3-4 years where I had to buy brass, dies, bullets, casting mold, bullet sizer dies, etc.
if i had 10 bucks for every time i said/did this i would have a fortune that i could live comfortably on the rest of my life. I hear ya there!!!! Reference the Savage 14 I referred to in my other post, I'd like to get a .224 caliber bolt gun in .223 even if not a Model 14. My son-in-law won a "Savage bolt gun in 243 at a Ducks Unlimited chow fest that is a sweet shooter, believe its a 110. Several years ago I just about pulled the chain on one of Savage's Varmint series rifles in .223. Local GS had two of them in stock, great price also, hemmed and hawed to long, both got sold. GS owner said he could order more, but can't recall why I didn't go for it at the time. Still look at them in shops and gun shows but they're always in the wrong caliber or my need overshadows my want if I see one in 223. One of these days maybe. Anyone have one of the Savage Varmint Series bolt rifles?

He wanted something to bring along when accompanying me at the range, and in case society turns nasty. (.223 a darned good choice in both regards, IMO.) The gun is scary accurate straight from the box even with a no-name Chinese scope. Darned good value IMO.

I'm a little uneducated on the Model 14 as far as when it was produced and ended its run. Anybody have the 'skinny' on the history of it. See an occasional one for sale here and there on gun sites (GB/GI), but never a .223 caliber. Also, see the Model 14 American Classic now and then also. When did Savage have the run on those and how did the First Model 14 and the American Classic 14 differ. Was the Model 14 a cheaper produced and/or less frills version of the Savage 110 sort of like the Remington 700 BDL vs 700 ADL? Lot of questions, but an inquiring mind would like to know. Thank you anyone if ya have all the answers.

I found the pump 22's interesting, there are a lot of variations but almost no literature with good information about them. I have about 15 different of just Model 1903's which includes design changes and factory options with a couple more that are different due to factory repair work. I also have at least 14 different in the Model 29, 29A & 29B series (if you include Stevens & house branded version add another 20 to that). The sights for all the Savage are also interesting, this includes factory & after market - a lot of different makers made tang sights for the 1899/99's. I’d like someday have a few Savage pump 22’s. Especially a 1906 We posted about the same time, so I just saw this. You see a lot of literature referring to a Savage Model 1906, there isn't one, the model was never put on them, 1906 is the patent date, they are Model 1903's - that's an example of the poor information that's been printed.

If we are going to allow Stevens, how about a Philadelphia Fox? Adopted?

I may get to see a friends 22 hornet single shot that may be a Savage 219 or 220. Are these solid guns? What quirks might they have? I've always found this one to be a pretty solid gun. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/eBnpCgf.jpg)

There are plenty of better pics of the above 219 engraved by John Madole, on line. I read somewhere that when asked why he put all of his talent and effort into engraving a 219, of all things, He replied some thing like, did any of the masters ever ask the pallet if it was worthy of their paint?
Edit: it is a 22 Hornet.

Didnt know the 219's were so collectible ...Know they arent easy to find ,,well in a 22 hornet anyway ,,,When they do show for sale they go fast ,,Been looking for a 22 hornet for a while now ...........Seems more show up for sale in Canada than anywhere I once had a 219 in 22 Hornet. It looked like new. It would pierce a primer about every other shot. I should have figured out what the problem was, but traded it off.

Rory beat me to it. I'd like to see it go up for sale again. I'd put it ahead of the K's I need to complete the set.

Whats the difference in a SuperSporter and a 1920 20/26 ? Range Rover versus Jaguar.

Whats the difference in a SuperSporter and a 1920 20/26 ? They are different beasts. The 1920, 20/26 was a shortened Mauser action and the Super Sporter, as I like to describe it, is the world’s biggest 22. What I mean is that the SS action looks like a 23 action on steroids. One is a Mauser and the other is not. And I’d say the Super Sporter was more of an International Scout than a Range Rover.

Not sure why, but I like the 101s. You think it’s a revolver but it’s not. I use one several times a year to dispatch trapped coins in my sweet corn. They are cute. One day I hope to find one in the box. Today could be your lucky day! I know a handsome gentleman that has one NIB.
