1912 Manufactured SAVAGE ARMS Model 1899 .303 Savage “TAKEDOWN” Rifle C&R
Popular Lever Action Hunting Rifle
Description: 1912 Manufactured SAVAGE ARMS Model 1899 .303 Savage “TAKEDOWN” Rifle C&R Popular Lever Action Hunting Rifle Here we present a Savage Model 1899 Lever Action Takedown Rifle, made in Utica, New York in 1912. 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. 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 fine. Some original finish remains. Strong, crisp action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. Sold stock throughout with an average amount of wear and a stable crack in the toe. Drilled and tapped barrel tang. Sharp, legible markings. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
