Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage Model 99A represents the later evolution of one of America’s most advanced lever-action rifles, carrying forward the innovative features that made the Model 99 family so influential. Although produced in 1971, long after the rifle’s early technological breakthroughs, this variant still embodies the hallmark traits that distinguished the Model 99 line: a hammerless action for faster, cleaner operation; a streamlined profile; and the reliability that hunters trusted for decades. Chambered in .250-3000 Savage—the first commercial cartridge to break 3,000 fps—this example blends the rifle’s forward-thinking mechanical design with a historically significant, flat-shooting caliber ideal for deer, varmints, and medium game. Even as features like the classic rotary magazine became less common on certain variants, the 99A maintained the balance, handling, and field utility that cemented the model’s reputation.

This specific rifle, serial number A711887, features a 20-inch blued barrel fitted with a blade front sight and an adjustable folding rear, augmented by a Bushnell Sportview scope for improved precision at distance. Its checkered walnut stock and forearm provide both aesthetic appeal and practical grip, reflecting Savage’s consistent attention to craftsmanship well into the 1970s. Combined with its smooth lever-action operation and well-mannered .250-3000 chambering, the rifle offers a capable and versatile hunting platform. This 99A stands as a strong representative of the model’s later production period—retaining the refined handling and dependable performance that made the Savage 99 one of the most enduring and respected lever-action rifles of the 20th century.
