Savage Arms ~ 99 ~ .250 Savage

This Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle chambered in .250 Savage is in very good overall condition for its age. The wood stock and forend show light handling marks and honest field wear, while the metal retains much of its original blued finish with minor wear. Based on serial number 619174, this rifle was likely manufactured around 1951-1952. Its classic rotary magazine and sleek hammerless design make it a standout example of Savage's most famous sporting rifle. Introduced in 1899, the Savage Model 99 was one of the most innovative lever actions ever produced, allowing hunters to safely use modern spitzer bullets. The .250 Savage, introduced in 1915 and also known as the .250-3000 Savage, was the first commercial sporting cartridge to reach a factory-rated 3,000 fps. Known for mild recoil, excellent accuracy, and proven performance on deer-sized game, the .250 Savage remains a favorite among hunters and collectors alike.
