VERY FINE CONDITION UNALTERED SAVAGE MODEL 1920 IN DESIRABLE 250-3000 SAVAGE CALIBER
Description: VERY FINE CONDITION UNALTERED SAVAGE MODEL 1920 IN DESIRABLE 250-3000 SAVAGE CALIBER, #4XXX. This was America's first modern bolt action sporter made for smokeless cartridges (I don't consider the Model 1899 Remington Lee or Winchester Lee Straight Pull USN rifles"modern"). Svage made these in fairly limited numbers as their Model 1899 lever rifle was their mainstay. They were made in .250-3000 and .300 Savage with the former now being the most desirable. Most of these I've seen have been altered with recoil pads added or being drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Finding an unaltered one is difficult. This is a really fine example that has NOT been altered. It also has the correct Lyman bolt mounted peep sight along with the Savage marked buckhorn rear sight and small blade/bead front sight. The barrel and receiver show about all the original blue that is slightly dulled from age, but still fine. The only blue wear is on the forward portion of the floor plate and some dulling of the blue to the trigger guard. Stock is excellent with sharp checkering and is dark and a little grimey from never having been cleaned! Savage marked steel butt plate is original. Bore is a little dark with strong rifling and at worst shows a little minor "frostiness." Action is very tight. This is a great example of a difficult to find hundred year old rifle. Price: $1,495.00 Curio/Relic: Yes Rifle Caliber: .250-3000 Savage Manufacturer: SAVAGE Model: 1920 Serial Number: 4XXX Barrel Length: 22 Condition: FINE+ Contact Seller |
