That may not be spelled right. The dictionary in my laptop says no entries found. I met a guy who owns one of these at the Wyoming Weapons Collectors show this weekend and he invited me to come by his house on the way home and take a look at it. It's a beauty. This is definitely the sort of thing I want to put in my next book. It's a 30-30 with an octagon barrel and the hole in the muzzle looked small relative to the bore size. I'll take calipers with me when I go back to photograph it for the book but does anyone know if these rifles had a heavier barrel than standard? Thanks, David

A Savage 1899 Schuetzen? I don't believe I've ever heard of such a thing. Is it simply a different buttplate?

Obviously, as you know, it's not a factory model. I am curious about it though. Heavy barrel, hooked butt plate, sights, palm rest?
The Schuetzen game was/is a slow fire off-hand game with plenty of time to take deliberate aim. So much time was/is allowed that all the serious competitors breech seated or muzzle loaded their bullets for the nth degree in accuracy. Repeaters were/are never seen for there was no earthly reason for rapid fire capability.

Somebody here had an 1899 with the Schuetzen style buttplate that I think was factory, iirc.

Somewhere, I thought it was here, recently, I read about an 1899 Schuetzen. There were pictures. I thought Savage made,or had it made, for presentation. If I could remember who it was for I might remember when and where it was posted. My initial thought was one beautiful rifle, but, why, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Forgot to mention, he has a letter from Roe Clark saying that the rifle is a factory Schutzen. I didn't see the letter but he told me Roe started the letter off something like, "You're a lucky Man." It has a cheek piece with a brass medallion that gives the recipients name and that he's in the U. S. Army. David

Good question, Steve'r.
"...The Schuetzen game was/is a slow fire off-hand game with plenty of time to take deliberate aim.

Repeaters were/are never seen for there was no earthly reason for rapid fire capability."
The above is what I think of when the word "Schuetzen" comes up. David/Doug, what does a Savage 1899/99 Schuetzen look like? What parts are different?

The buttplate is brass and similar to the ones pictured. It has a perch belly stock that appears fatter than a normal 99 stock with a cheekpiece on the right side of the stock. I believe the peep sight is a Marbles and the full octagon barrel looked heavier than the standard barrel. David

Schuetzen style stocks were not unprecedented for Savage, my model 1905

Somebody here had an 1899 with the Schuetzen style buttplate that I think was factory, iirc. I have an 1899CD in 32-40 that was set up Schutzen-style, with a factory installed Swiss-style buttplate and an after-market palm rest that screws into the forearm.

Any chance we might see a picture of your Schuetzen rifle? That is a rare gun indeed.
