Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The original Savage model 1920 rifle was introduced over a century ago. Only about 12,000 were made and production ended around 1928. By 1931, it was no longer featured in the Savage catalog. Nonetheless, it remains a milestone as a rifle far ahead of its time — the first American-made lightweight bolt-action sporting rifle.
The original 1920 was ideally suited to the .250-3000 cartridge but in the book "Bolt Action Rifles," author Frank de Haas suggests it may be a bit too slim, especially for the more powerful .300 Savage. After 1925, Savage revised the rifle with a fuller stock and heavier barrel that added about 14 ounces of weight. They also added sling swivel studs, slanted the bolt handle back a bit and made the Lyman 54 sight standard. Collectors sometimes call this the 1920/1926 model. Around 8,500 original 1920s were made, while only 3,500 of the revised version were manufactured.
