Savage ~ Model 1899 ~ .303 Savage

The Savage Model 1899, and their predecessor the Model 1895 are a series of hammerless lever action rifles created by the Savage Arms Company in Utica, New York. The Model 99 family featured a unique rotary magazine. The rifle was extremely popular with big game hunters and was even issued to the Montreal Home Guard during the First World War. The rotating magazine design allowed the rifle to be one of the first lever-action rifles to use spitzer bullets commercially introduced in the decade after its development. This example dates to 1910 and is in good shape for a rifle over 100 years old. A great Savage model that is very collectable.
