Deserving watch guys like you Jim should enjoy the liberty of owning and using fine firearms.
Professor, your Savage 23B would be an accurate way to do .25-20. I love owning and using firearms produced, or at least designed in the period between about 1890 and World War II. It was a sort of "Golden Age" of design and metallic cartridge advances combined with craftsmanship and quality materials. Yum! Blue steel and walnut rather than aluminum alloy, plastic, and piano wire.
Does this 23B resemble yours? A good-looking rifle, I've coveted them found offered for sale at gun shops and shows for years. Wouldn't care which available caliber they chambered .22 Long Rifle, .22 Hornet, .25-20, or .32-20. All would be good and I'd have one of each.
