Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage Model 99, Model 1899, and their predecessor, the Model 1895, are a series of hammerless lever action rifles created by the Savage Arms Company in Utica, New York. The Model 99 family featured a unique rotary magazine and later added some detachable magazine models. The rifle was extremely popular with big game hunters and was even issued to the Montreal Home Guard during the First World War. The Model 1895, one of the early models of rifles, was in contention with the Krag-Jorgensen to replace the Springfield Model 1873 trapdoor rifle for the US Army. The earlier Model 1892 was never produced, although it was created by Arthur Savage and probably the E.W. Bliss Company. The Model 1893 prototypes eventually became the Model 1895, which was designed by Colt's Manufacturing Company and produced by Marlin Firearms. A Model 1895 musket in .30-40 Krag won a rifle contract for the New York National Guard in 1896, but the contract was canceled due to political controversy and the offer of free rifles from the US Army. Similarly, the Model 1895 musket won a contract to arm the Mexican Army in 1897, but it was also canceled due to the lack of a factory to produce the rifles.

The Model 1899 was a refinement of the Model 1895 design and its name was later changed to the Model 99 with the introduction of the 300 Savage cartridge in 1921. In 1899, Savage offered to convert any existing Model 1895 rifle or carbine to a Model 1899 configuration for a $5 fee. After changes to the Model 1899 receiver and internals in 1908, Savage stopped working on 1895 or pre-1909 1899 and instead offered to sell a new rifle at a discounted price.
