Savage started revising the rifle and called the finished product the Model 1899. A bit bulky and heavy, the gun didn’t set any sales records. Its most noticeable feature was a rotary magazine that cycled cartridges smoothly and reliably.
The 1895’s solid breech was plenty strong enough to handle new smokeless powder loads. The Model 99 traces its beginning back to 1895 when Arthur Savage developed his Model 1895 lever action chambered in. I wanted it for its good looks, fast handling in the deer woods and to revisit the days of my youth when I carried a Savage 99 on hunts for mule deer. I’d been looking for an older Savage Model 99 in.
“Just the way I’ve been hoping the last 30 years.” I walked out with a Savage Model 99 rifle. Although retired for almost 30 years, this classic lever action remains one of the best deer guns of all time.Ī few springs ago, my wife and I walked into a sporting goods store intending to buy some fishing hooks.
