there were some european single shots and combo guns and maybe the early savage bolt action? seems like there might have even been someone making a pump action?

I've often wondered the same thing. I've subscribed to Devine ans Amoskeag auction catalogs for many years, as well as constantly looking at guns on the internet. I've never seen one. I alway's thought it was interesting Savage chambered the 99-T [my favorite] in .303 untill WW2, 20 yrs after introduction of the .300 Sav, yet I've never seen reference to a Model 1920 or 1940 chambered for .303. I'd bet there were some uncataloged ones. Cartridges of the World says .303 is known in England as the 301 Savage.
