OK, I got my old single shot 20 ga. out this evening, and it is a Savage model 220A. I haven't used it in years, and was surprised at the amount of fiddleback grain in the buttstock, considering it is just a plain Jane single shot. The barrel blue and action case colors are still pretty good, but the finish on the stock is worn in the grip area. I think the wood deserves a little makeover. And I left it out so I can run a few shells through it for old time's sake. It killed a lot of pheasants, rabbits, and squirrels before I bought my first repeater. It helped me learn to make the first shot count. I also have a Savage single shot model 94C that I leave out in the garage. The little 220A is a much nicer gun, and I wonder why Savage stopped making them.
