The Savage Model 99-EG is a classic lever-action rifle known for its innovative rotary magazine and sleek, hammerless design—features that set it apart from other rifles of its era. This particular example is especially desirable, as it has not been drilled or tapped for scope mounts, preserving its original condition and appeal to collectors.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage Model 99, evolved from the groundbreaking Model 1895 and 1899 designs, holds a prominent place in American firearms history as one of the first hammerless lever-action rifles. The hammerless design offered significant advantages, including faster lock time, increased accuracy, and a reduced chance of snagging in brush or clothing. One of the most innovative features of the 1899/99 series was its rotary magazine, which used a spring-loaded spool with grooves to securely hold cartridges—allowing the safe use of spitzer (pointed) bullets, unlike traditional tubular magazines. This gave Savage a technological edge, enabling their rifles to chamber high-velocity smokeless powder cartridges with flatter trajectories, making them highly desirable for both hunters and shooters of the era.
