If you're in Australia, they seem to all be in 22HP.. grin

I have a 1924 in 303.
Posted By: Rick99 Re: Model E - 02/15/24
Norm, here are some ver ruff number for you look over...

From 1921 through 1934 there were around 110,000 1899/99's made. I have a few over 500 rifles in my data, Within that 500 I have the following:

22HP = 14 ea (6 are in Australia or Canada)

250 = 8 ea

30-30 = 9 ea

303 = 6 ea

300 = 5 ea.

I only have one in the last 3 years of data.

Not uncommon for the barrel to be a take down.

Sampling is a little squid from specifically hunting data on E's in past years..
Posted By: norm99 Re: Model E - 02/15/24
That's only 42 E s in 13 years.. we need more guys to check their safe queens.


And i have 20 in that range.

You did.. John Wright had one in his collection. It's why I have one in 303 now.
Posted By: Angus1895 Re: Model E - 02/15/24
I have 3.

Two 303, one 300.

Ah, I stand corrected.

22 Hi-P, 269,294, really rough. I got offered too much money and it went down the road.
250-3000, 330,135. Pretty nice, real accurate. I think I used it on an antelope when I was working on my Savage grand slam.

I had one in 30-30 but it went down the road.
Posted By: saddlering Re: Model E - 02/15/24

Posted By: 99guy Re: Model E - 02/16/24

What's the difference between a F and E? [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]
Posted By: Lightfoot Re: Model E - 03/07/24
Early 99F is a takedown.
Posted By: sqweeler Re: Model E - 03/07/24
My mistake, I meant the difference between a H (shown) and a E. [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]
Posted By: norm99 Re: Model E - 03/07/24
A late 1899 H is the forrunner of the E but the E was the first solid frame 250-3000 and probably the first solid frame 22HP.

somebody may correct me on that , there may have been a special order solid frame 22HP or 250 before that ,

Yes, I had the four as part of my data.

That "solid frame G" was one that created many postings and disagreements. laugh

The serial on this 30-30 H is 161xxx [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]
Posted By: johno Re: Model E - 03/07/24
Glad this thread got some new life, I am fascinated with 22 hp E's why so many are down here as opposed to the US & Canada.

Norm that rifle cost me $500.00 AUD about $350.00 USD it was one of the times when luck went my way I saw it on sale site within minutes of being listed being deaf I was buggered I couldn't call them, then as luck would have it my wife walked in the door I ran at her with the phone number already programed in

That's a really nice 30-30

yes, correct.
Posted By: Calhoun Re: Model E - 03/08/24
Depends on the year.

In 1919-1920, the 1899H was on pricelists only as a takedown - no matter what it was chambered in.

From 1906 to 1909, only solid frame 1899H's were available.
Posted By: midnightson Re: Model E - 03/09/24
I have S/N 27479x I think 1925. Takedown in .300.

Just picked it up a couple months ago. First 1899.
Posted By: Calhoun Re: Model E - 03/09/24
Probably late 1925, it'd be stamped "SAVAGE MODEL 1899" on the receiver - but it's actually a Model 99. They just didn't change the stamps for 6 years since the name change was mostly driven by marketing.
