Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Savage Model 1920,300 savage?

Great uncle was supposed to have used it for bear. Serial 4 digit 7300. Wood stock nice with checkering,bore sharp and shiney bore.Blue 80%+ fading no rust,buttplate metal Indan head on bottom. In our state we can not use hi-power rifles. It looks like a little light Mauser rifle. I would like to sell it .$450 shipped in 48 lower to your FFL dealer.It would make a nice deer rifle too.Will try to post pictures tonight.

It might be a great deal, but it's a pig in a poke without photos.

If I can post a picture I will later tonight. If I cannot just email me a post or I can do it on cell phone. It is not a pig -in-the poke. Thanks

PM sent. Click the flashing envelope next to "my stuff".

Your stuff?.....

I'll take it. Will send funds.

Sold Marshfellow SPF,first in line,thankyou.

So, it's OK to sell Savage/Stevens stuff in this forum?

Hail yes!

I'm going to be interested to see what this rifle looks like. If it's in decent shape the buyer did very very well.

I think marshfellow owes us a few more posts if its in nice shape seeing how decent 1920s often go for twice that price.

If you post here, the consensus has been that any discussion of the item is legit. So if you post up a $500 gun for an asking price of $900, expect somebody to say that. Whereas if posting in the Free Classifieds, that would be considered in very bad taste.

Thanks Calhoun. Understood.

He got a fair buy for a honest rifle as rare as hen's teeth today. A Savage man to the end and she is going back home to New York close to where she was made and born.

I for one look forward to seeing pics of the rifle someday soon Tom.

I can't believe one of you guy's didn't buy it just for the price sight unseen or not. In almost any shape and by the way the seller said "it was in good shape" if you wanted to sell it the day after you received it you would turn a profit. If you would have held on to it,it would be a nice add to your collection. I wish I was online when it went upI haven't seen one for sale on the forum since the last one I bought a year ago.
For Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think most people blinked when they realized the seller was a newbie with one post to his credit, too low of a price, and no pics. I know that I waffled a bit there and by the time I figured out the guy sounded legit, it was too late.

This was one instance where "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" doesn't apply. Of course we have yet to see the rifle...

That was EXACTLY my thought as well. And though I may have made a mistake, I'd rather make a mistake with money in my pocket than a mistake and the money in someone else's pocket. I don't "need" to have every gun that comes along, but seeing it myself first helps ease things up just a tad. Lessons CAN be expensive and painful. BUT, they can also be painful and penny wise. I prefer the latter. That's the one I'm used to.

The rifle was very much worth the money...I got pics and then got too busy at work and missed it. Low post count really didn't matter to me as we all had low post counts at one point. I think you guys turned out to be great guys.
