ENGRAVED Model 1899EG SAVAGE ARMS C&R .300 Savage TAKEDOWN Sporting Rifle
ELK SCENE ENGRAVED Lever Action Rifle with SCOPE
Description: ENGRAVED Model 1899EG SAVAGE ARMS C&R .300 Savage TAKEDOWN Sporting Rifle ELK SCENE ENGRAVED Lever Action Rifle with SCOPE Here we present a C&R Savage Arms Model 1899EG Lever Action Rifle, made in Utica, New York in 1953. The founder of Savage Arms, Arthur W. Savage was a restless and very productive sort who did a little bit of everything during his lifetime. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica to British parents in 1857. He went to school in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States and then in the UK. From there he moved about until he found himself in Australia looking for precious stones, exploring, homesteading and running cattle. He married and started his family (8 children) there before moving to Jamaica to try his hand at agriculture. Some sources say that he grew coffee and some bananas; likely, it was both. Moving on from there, he managed the Utica Belt Line Railroad in New York. In the meantime, he was tinkering with firearms design. By 1894, he seemed to have found his niche and founded his namesake company. Going up against the likes of Winchester, Savage began his firearms line with a lever action rifle, the Model 1895. His Model 1899 is perhaps his most endearing. The cartridges and detachable rotary magazine he developed are two of his most lasting impacts in the firearms industry today. True to character he sold out of the company in about 1905 and moved to California, where he founded the highly successful Savage Tire Company and continued to dabble in firearms. This rifle is considered by some to be the pinnacle of lever action technology. Its unique magazine enabled the use of spire point ammunition in a lever action rifle since spire points in a tubular magazine like the Winchester or Marlin might set off a primer and cause a catastrophic event for the gun and the user. This is also a favorite cartridge of many a hunter. Famed hunter and outdoors writer Ben East told the story of how he once went on a polar bear hunt with his Savage 99 in .300 Savage and killed a bear with his final shot, just before the bear reached him. Most hunters today use them for deer and other medium sized game. The overall condition is nearing fine. Excellent, crisp action. bright bore. The stock is fantastic, excellent shape with sharp checkering. Original finish. The scope has a clear sight picture and can be rotated 180° for iron sight use. Lightly engraved frame. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .300 Savage Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING.
