Buy Model 99 300 Savage rifle
Today, we sometimes see them in the used racks in gunshops across middle America. And we still see them in vintage hunting photos from the Adirondacks to the High Sierras. It’s a lever action, but obviously not a Winchester or a Marlin because it lacks a tubular magazine under the barrel. Sometimes it wears a scope (because it can), but it more often has a barrel-mounted rear sight or receiver-mounted aperture. It has a two-piece stock, forend and buttstock separated by the large block of steel, gently rounded on the bottom for its receiver. Chances are good that this lever action is a Savage 99.

In the 1890s, Arthur W. Savage’s goal was to build a better mousetrap than Winchester or Marlin. His prototype 1892, produced by Colt, was a short-throw in .32-20 Winchester that might have competed with Winchester’s 1892 and Marlin’s 1894, but it was never marketed. His 1895, 1899 and the ultimate Savage 99 threatened the established brands and were popular enough for the rifle to pass into legend.
