I would have it now if I had just pulled the proverbial trigger...shoulda, coulda, woulda! Going, going, gone! Oh well. There is always another potential find waiting....yeah, right!

I bought mine at a gun show a while back, in about the same shape but with the receiver sight. Mine might have a little more bluing on it, maybe not Paid almost twice as much as that and still felt like I stole it. Randy Randy Good Looking rifle.

For the record, the first time I saw a Savage 250-3000 Model 1920 for sale, I gave the seller a small deposit, asked him to put the gun under the table so I could make a telephone call. (in truth, I needed a couple of minutes to begin breath again, empty my shorts, stop shaking and recompose myself before trying to negotiate a price on the rifle) In the end, I got it for $300.-. Now the only way it will leave my possession is when it is pried from my cold dead hand! Good luck in your hunt!!! "Rhetoric is no substitute for reality." -Thomas Sowell

What would it cost me to buy new short action, control feed, sub MOA rifle weighting less than six pounds in todays market? A couple years later I saw the same dealer at another show and out of the blue I tipped him the last $20.00 we haggled over as the point was now mute. Someday, I hope to find another in an early 1920 chambered for the .300. How many have you got now? "Rhetoric is no substitute for reality." -Thomas Sowell

Someday I'm gonna get a 111 action and barrel and stock it like a 1920, except not with quite so much drop in the stock, and a small QD scope for my aged peepers. Probably a .250 (a little more versatile in CA than a .300--really big game is scarce here--a .250 will do blacktails and piggies just fine with the right bullet. And coyotes and ground squirrels don't like 'em either.). Come to think of it, the earliest 110s and 111s looked a little like 1920s.....

Looks to me like the last one is the second picture was originally a 20/26, but that doesn't look like factory wood to me. Randy Last edited by 99guy; 07/25/10. "You cannot invade mainland America.

It's rare to see so many of these in one spot but nice to make comparison between the early and late versions.

The stocks are configured just right for iron sight use. Given a choice I would vote for Savage to bring it back before the 99. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."

Haven't shot mine in 243 yet, and I don't like it as much as my 1920 in 250 for handling, but it's not that far behind. Available in 30-06, 270, 243 and 308 I believe.
