Our Assessment: 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 are 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 accidental discharge. This gave Savage a lead in producing rifles that could handle high velocity smokeless powder cartridges with bullets offering flatter trajectories than other lever-action designs. This example is a model 99F Featherweight chambered for the .250-3000 Savage cartridge. The bore is great, and the mechanics are strong. This will make a great addition to a Savage collection. .250-3000 Savage SOLD Manufacturer: 12/31/1959 Chambers: 5 in Internal Rotary Magazine + 1 in Chamber Metal Condition: Excellent Wood Condition: Very Good Bore Condition: Excellent Barrels: 22 Stock Dimensions: "Overall Length is 42"", Length of Pull is Approximately 13.75"", Stocks are American Walnut, Checkered Pistol Grip Fore End: American Walnut line point checkered Butt Pad: Stock Savage metal Crescent Weight: 7 lb. 11 oz.
