I have a Savage 1899 in .30-30 cal that I cant seem to identify the exact model of. Serial is 1849xx that shows as a date of 1915 or 1916.

The rifle is in very good shape, but most blueing is worn.

The barrel length is 19.25". Fore grip is Schnabel. Unfortunately someone over the years drilled, tapped and slightly ground a flat spot to scope it.

Lever boss shows an H in a circle. If I remove the fore stock, I see an F stamped on the front right side of the receiver. Hard rubber butt plate. I dont believe its a take down model.

The front sight is a short pinned blade and the rear is adjustable for elevation on a sliding ramp and also adjustable for windage by knurled knobs. The rear is marked Savage Arms Oct 13, 1914. Maybe a Savage Model 15 Wind gauge ?

I have looked at a number of books I have but the barrel seems short. I don't think it has been cut as the front sight is intact.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
