*SOLD* 1924 Savage 99E .250-3000 Sav 22" *EXCELLENT LEVER-ACTION RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Savage Model 99E, manufactured in 1924, is a lever-action rifle chambered in the historically significant .250-3000 Savage cartridge—the first commercial round to break the 3,000 feet-per-second velocity mark. Designed for hunters seeking a balance of power, speed, and flat trajectory, this cartridge paired with the Model 99E makes for an effective and accurate rifle in the field. The 22" blued barrel offers solid ballistic performance and manageable weight, while the blade front sight and adjustable rear sight allow for precise aiming under varying conditions. The rifle features a smooth wood straight grip stock that adds to its traditional appearance and provides a comfortable, ergonomic hold. Unlike many lever-actions of its time, the Model 99 series was notable for its internal rotary magazine and absence of an external hammer, giving it a sleeker profile and improved safety. The 99E variant represents a more streamlined version of the Model 99, offering simplicity and reliability without sacrificing performance. Its combination of timeless design, innovative features, and practical caliber makes it a desirable choice for collectors and hunters alike.
