Savage 1899 Under Lever Take Down Rifle S/H Calibre .22” Savage Hi Power/5.56x52R
Product Details
A fine, 1921 made, example of the classic Savage under lever rifle.
The 1899 was a popular sporting rifle and was developed from its predecessor the model 1895 which was first hammerless lever action gun ever produced.
The rifle is fitted with and internal rotary magazine that holds 5 cartridges that helps the rifle balance well in the hand, it also allows the use of pointed bullets. The internal magazine design makes for a stronger action which meant that the 1899 was ideally suited to handling high pressure cartridges. During it’s almost 100 years in production the 1899 was chambered for over 14 different cartridges including the 308 Winchester with over 1 million rifles being produced.
This rifle is chambered in the .22 Savage Hi Power cartridge a legend in it its own right. When it was introduced in 1912 the cartridge was a high velocity game round sending a 70 grain bullet at 2,800 fps with muzzle energy of 1,190 foot-pounds, hot stuff for 1912. The cartridge also found favour in Europe where it was designated the 5.56 x 52R and is still popular today with S&B and Norma producing ammunition.
The rifle is in fine overall condition with a good barrel having little visible wear, it has express rear sights and is a take down version that has tight barrel lock up. Dies and cases are available for this rifle.
