I have acquired a Savage model 1899 takedown in 22 HP cal. It weighs approx 6.5 lbs and has a 20" barrel. The sn is 1458xx and was probably mfg'd in 1913.It has sling swivels, Buckhorn rear sight and Integral front blade. Is this the standard configuration and specifications for this model/caliber ?? Any additional information would be appreciated.

probably shouldn't have swivels, but, on an average gun they don't hurt enough so's you'd notice.

<br>You didn't mention if it is it a takedown model or not but that barrel length and caliber would have to be? It is most likely an 1899 H. Sling swivels weren't standard.

Elwood,
<br>
<br>From orig. post - "I have acquired a Savage model 1899 takedown in 22 HP cal. "
<br>
<br>You musta missed that. Why do you feel the 20" would indicate an "H" over another model?
America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

<br>You're correct, I missed the point about the takedown. Sorry. As far as the 20" barrel, I thought that would make it either an "H" or an "F" and since it is a takedown, guess it would be an "H".

You both missed the important part. In 1913 the 1899-H was the ONLY model chambered for the .22HP.
