I don't know the model but you might find it in in Nick Strobel's book on old scopes. On second thought, I doubt Pachmayr ever made a mount for the 20. Last edited by S99VG; 09/12/12.

I don't think the "N" mount (3/4" scope) will work. Note: the upper part of the bolt handle might hit the scope when open if it has not been altered already. Savage...never say "never". Rick...
