Description:
The top of the barrel is marked “SAVAGE” followed by “MODEL 99A SERIES A / WESTFIELD, MASS., U.S.A.” and “CAL. 243 WIN.”. The left side of the receiver is marked with the serial number. The chamber has inspection marks.
The front sight is a hooded beaded blade dovetailed into a ramped riser fixed to the barrel. The rear sight is a Williams adjustable notch sight dovetailed into the barrel. The top of the receiver is drilled and tapped to install an optic of your choice. The multi-point checkered Walnut Monte Carlo style stock with a pistol grip stock with a grip cap, a Monte Carlo style comb, a rounded tip forearm, and a rubber recoil pad. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion.
This rifle retains about 96% of its metal finish. There are a few little spots of oxidation on the receiver, mostly on the bottom. The barrel has one or two little tiny marks through the finish. There is some thinning on the edge of the muzzle. The lever has some thinning from use. There are a couple of little scabs on the lever. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear.
The Savage 1899/99 model rifles have quite a history. They were preceded by the Model 1895, which was the first hammerless lever-action rifle produced. A hammerless action was useful as it reduces the lock time, allows the rifle to be fired more accurately, and is less likely to jam in brush or snag in clothing. The 1895 and 1899/99 models used a rotary magazine to hold the cartridges, using a spring-loaded spool with grooves. The 1899/99 models added a counter to the spool to indicate how many rounds were loaded. This design allowed the use of spitzer bullets, which could not be used in the Winchester rifles of the times because the pointed tips in the tubular magazines could cause an accidental discharge.
