Description:
HERE IS A GREAT SAVAGE 99 IN 300 SAVAGE WITH ROUND COUNTER AND LYMAN ALL AMERICAN 4X SCOPE. has nice and clear round counter
The
.300 Savage
with a round counter is a signature configuration of the Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle. This unique feature is part of its innovative internal rotary magazine design, which sets it apart from traditional tube-fed lever guns.
Key Features of the Round Counter & Action
- Rotary Magazine Counter: The left side of the receiver features a small "window" showing a brass counter that indicates the number of rounds remaining in the magazine.
- Capacity: The internal spool typically holds 5 rounds, meaning the counter will display numbers 0 through 5 as you load or fire the rifle.
- Spitzer Bullet Capability: Because the magazine is rotary rather than tubular, the Model 99 can safely fire pointed (spitzer) bullets, which offer better ballistics and range than the flat-nosed bullets required by Winchester or Marlin tube-fed rifles.
- Hammerless Design: The rifle uses an internal striker rather than an external hammer, which allowed for a faster lock time and a smoother top profile for mounting optics.
MeatEater +1
- History: Introduced in 1920, the .300 Savage was designed to replicate the power of the .30-06 Springfield in a shorter action.
- Performance: It typically pushes a 150-grain bullet at roughly 2,600–2,700 feet per second.
- Legacy: It is considered the predecessor to the .308 Winchester and remains a highly regarded "deer woods" cartridge.
While Savage discontinued the Model 99 in the late 1990s, vintage models chambered in .300 Savage are common on the used market.
- Pricing: Prices often range from $700 to $1,600+ depending on the specific sub-model (like the 99EG or 99R) and the condition of the brass counter and walnut stock.
- Condition Note: Collectors often look for rifles where the brass counter is still bright and the window is clear of "crud" or oil buildup.
