Good evening. I picked up a Savage 1899 today in .30-.30 cal. It’s in kinda rough shape but it still shoots good. On the crown of the barrel is printed “Manufactured By Savage Arms Company, Utica, N.Y. USA. Pat Feb 7, 1893, July 25, 1898, Oct 2, 1899, May 25, 1909, June 1, 909. (909 is correct), Left side of the barrel is “Savage Hi-Pressure Steel, Model 1899, Left side of the barrel at the receiver “30-30”. Barrel is 20”. Serial Number is 126777. Still has the U-hook for the saddle ring. (Ring is missing). Stock does not have the raised pointed sides like my other Savage 99 from the 1951( I think date is correct). This Gun shows to be from 1912. I would like to know if it truly is an F model 1899. And did I get soaked at $250? Also rear sight is broken. I’m not allowed to post pictures.
