The Savage 99E: The \"Economy\" Model
The \"E\" in 99E stands for \"Economy,\" and it was a more basic, no-frills version of the classic Model 99. Introduced as a way to offer the popular rifle at a lower price point, the 99E typically had a more simplified design and fewer decorative features than other models.
Key characteristics of the Model 99E included:
Simplified Stock: The stock was often made of birch and lacked the checkering and fine finishing of the deluxe models. It was a utilitarian design, built for function over aesthetics.
Lack of Cartridge Counter: To cut down on manufacturing costs, many 99E models did not have the famous brass cartridge counter window on the side of the receiver.
Lever Safety: Early Model 99s had a unique safety that was part of the trigger guard. Later models, including many 99Es, often featured a more conventional tang safety.
Production Dates and Cartridges: The Savage Model 99 was produced from 1899 all the way until 2003, with the 99E variant being part of the later production runs. They were chambered in a variety of calibers, including popular hunting rounds like the .243 Win. and .308 Win.
Despite being an \"economy\" model, the 99E retained the fundamental design strengths of the Model 99—the strong action, the reliable rotary magazine, and the hammerless design. It was a workhorse rifle that offered hunters a solid, dependable lever-action at an affordable price. Today, vintage Savage 99s, including the 99E, are highly sought after by collectors and hunters alike for their historical significance, innovative design, and classic appeal.
