The calibers discontinued supposedly about 1941. top: 22 Hi-Power serial #3468xx; middle 30-30 #3768xx
photobucket is not working for me today. Is anyone else experiencing problems with them? David

I have a checkered 383,xxx in 300. Does anyone have an earlier one that is also checkered?
That EG in 22HP is a catch. Have only seen one. And it was a nice one.
Most of all 22hps I have seen are worn out. They are a fun gun to shoot. Others in the past must have agreed.

I think what David was trying to say and show but could not with Photobucket being down is that now he has all 8 EG calibers.

Not to hijack your thread...
I was in a LGS/Pawn shop today and there was a box of 100 Hornady 70gr SP for the .22 Hi Power. Having never seen bullets of this caliber, and it being an old style Hornady box, I was thinking they might be a bit hard to come by for anyone wanting to reload for their .22 HiPower.
Are they desirable or just another old, obsolete round?

They will work just fine! I bob the tip off them when I reload, they group better! speer seems better yet as they are shorter than the Hornady!

Yeah, I'm the one that loves my R's, and I use all of the extras as fence posts, the mater stakes aren't strong enough, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Don't worry MD. I think it's funny. That's why I keep using it. I really like EG's. I didn't use that term in my book. I was being too serious when I wrote it. Photo bucket is back up but it took a really long time to upload this photo. Top: 22 Hi-Power Serial # 3468xx; middle 30-30 # 3768xx; bottom 303 Spiegle Special #3947xx. These calibers were no longer cataloged after about 1941. See 1942 catalog and price list in another post. The two calibers that were produced throughout the EG run. Top: 300 Savage w Stith mount and Weaver K2.5 # 5070xx, bottom: 250-3000 w Stith and Weaver K6 # 5027xx. The scope was produced about the same time as the rifle and has probably been on it since the rifle was new. This rifle had been in two collections for a long time before I got it and may not have been fired since it left the factory. And the newbies. The 308 class of cartridges were introduced in the 99's probably late 1955. Top: 358 with the folding rear sight introduced in 1959 to the 99's. This rifle was produced very near the end of pre-mil production and has a matching number 99F buttstock. Serial # 9673xx; middle: 308 with Weaver KV scope # 9560xx. I hunted elk with this rifle the last two years and shot one with it at 311 yards in 2015. Bottom: 243 # 9245xx, I just got this one. It has a semi-circle on the lever boss where the LBC should be. A closeup of the semi-circle on the lever boss. Anyone else seen this? The first digit of the serial number is faint but I don't think the receiver has been reblued. The barrel has definitely not been reblued, the case is a little faded and the engine turning on the bolt shows a little wear. David

If I stay awake and pay attention I learn something every day. I'll have to get my EG's back out and look more closely. David

I also miked the muzzles of the 243 and 358. They are identical in diameter with allowance for polishing. 358 243. The 243 is noticeably heavier than the 358 but part of that is the F stock on the 358. David

Got all those cals, just not in all EGs
Very impressive. I like EGs and do use them afield. My latest favorites are my 358 and 30-30.
I have probably killed the most game with Gs though. I have not taken anything with an H BB yet, so that has to change.

My stake in 243 isn't far off from yours, 925XXX, must have made runs of them.

They probably did make runs. Someone posted about a 99H 300 recently that was only 20 numbers off from my H 300. David

I have a checkered 383,xxx in 300. Does anyone have an earlier one that is also checkered? The earliest checkered EG I have in my data is a pair of .22HP's in the 384xxx range. All the other calibers and Spiegels (changed from checkered butt to butt and forearm checkered) are in the 386xxx range.

David,
The beauty of Savage collecting is you're never done! When I first started many years ago with a 303 sav, hey wouldn't it be great to have all the savage calibers. Well that only took a few months and 4 rifles later. Then hey wouldn't it be great to have all 13 calibers. Well that took me about a year. Then I should have a 1895, a MHG and a cased set to really have a collection. That was about another 6 months. Then wouldn't it be great to have all the calibers of EG's that took a couple of years. Then I really liked the 1899C's let get all them, might as well throw in a 1895C too! Well that got me stuck. Never found an 1899 C in 32-40 that had enough condition for me. So while stuck on that lets work on barrel bands and the checkered and uncheckered EG's. Well after well over 125 savages and life changes I stepped aside. Now I only have about 10 which are all rifles that I hunt with.
