Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage 1899/99 model rifles have a rich and innovative history. They were preceded by the Model 1895, the first hammerless lever-action rifle ever produced—a groundbreaking design that reduced lock time, improved accuracy, and minimized the risk of snagging in brush or clothing. The original 1895 and early 1899/99 models featured a unique rotary magazine, using a spring-loaded spool with grooves to hold cartridges securely. Later enhancements included a round counter on the spool, letting shooters know how many rounds remained—an uncommon feature at the time. This rotary system allowed the safe use of Spitzer (pointed) bullets, unlike competing Winchester rifles with tubular magazines, which posed a risk of accidental discharge from bullet tip contact. As a result, Savage gained a distinct advantage by offering lever-action rifles capable of handling high-velocity smokeless powder cartridges with superior ballistic performance. Among the later variants, the Model 99C stands out as a magazine-fed model, replacing the rotary system with a detachable box magazine to offer quicker reloads and easier maintenance while maintaining the model’s strong performance reputation.
