Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage 1899/99 model rifles have quite a history. They were preceded by the Model 1895, which was the first hammerless lever-action rifle produced. A hammerless action was useful as it reduces the lock time, allows the rifle to be fired more accurately, and is less likely to jam in brush or snag in clothing. The 1895 and 1899/99 models used a rotary magazine to hold the cartridges, using a spring-loaded spool with grooves. The 1899/99 models added a counter to the spool to indicate how many rounds were loaded. This design allowed the use of spitzer bullets, which could not be used in the Winchester rifles of the times because the pointed tips in the tubular magazines could cause accidental discharge. This gave Savage a lead in producing rifles that could handle high-velocity smokeless powder cartridges with bullets offering flatter trajectories than other lever-action designs. The Savage 1899/99 model rifles have quite a history and have seen many variants over the years, with one of these variants known as the 1899C.

The 1899C shared a similar design to the other variants in its series, except for their barrel configurations. The 1899C featured a 26” barrel, but it differed in having a half-octagon, half-round barrel compared to the other barrel configurations on the other models. This variation in barrel configuration helped give the 1899C a unique look while maintaining the performance and reliability that made the Savage 1899/99 models popular among hunters and collectors alike.
