Re: Savage Model 20??

They were manufactured from 1920 through 1931. They are good little rifles. I own one chambered in .250-3000 Savage (.250 Savage).

Value for your rifle will vary between $900 and whatever ($0).

Re: BSA Martini International MK ii (Karl Kenyon)

The rifle has been rebarreled at sometime in its life. It originally wore Parker Hale sights.

I'm guessing it would sell for $400 - $500.
