The 1895, as well as the later Model 1899 and early Model 99, used a five-shot rotary magazine to hold the cartridges The rotating magazine uses a spring-loaded spool with grooves to hold the cartridges. The Savage 1899 took advantage of the spool to include a counter to indicate how many rounds are left in the magazine. The Model 99 continued using this system for many years, except for later models which had a detachable magazine. The rotating magazine design allowed the rifle to be one of the first lever-action rifles to use spitzer bullets commercially introduced in the decade after its development. Previous lever-action rifles used tubular magazines, which placed cartridges of ammunition end to end. The pointed tips of a spitzer bullet would touch the primer of the cartridge in front of it, possibly causing an accidental discharge. Another novel safety feature was a cocking indicator. On the Model 1895 this was a hole on top of the bolt through which a C (Cocked) or S (Safe) could be seen. On early Model 1899‚‚s this changed to a tab on top of the bolt which raised up when the rifle was cocked and could be visually seen or easily felt by touch; and in 1908 it changed to a small pin which would protrude above the top of the receiver to indicate the rifle was cocked and ready to fire Price: $929.99 Manufacturer: SAVAGE ARMS Model: 99F Caliber Info: .300 SAVAGE Condition: Used - Non-Certified Barrels: 22 BARREL Finish: BLUE Contact Seller |
