Figured some of y'all might like to see it. Quote This Winchester Model 1876 Deluxe Sporting Rifle is factory engraved on the cartridge lifter with the following: "Judge E. S. Dundy, Falls City, Neb." Judge Dundy was the presiding judge in the trial of the Ponca leader Standing Bear and made the landmark ruling that Indians were persons under the law. Winchester records indicate that this rifle was shipped from the warehouse on April 10, 1879, twenty days before the start of the trial.

Can't tell by your picture. No, it is a 303. I inherited from my grandfather and plan to carry it this year. Not a takedown. According to the information I received it is a 1899A built in 1914.

I have a couple cool old Savages, an 1895 octagon barrel, and an early 250/3000 special order, delivered to J. DeP Lynch, corporate secretary of Savage at the time. Calhoun has photos of both from Savagefests, but for some reason I don't have a decent photo of either one.

Nice 1899A, love them perchbelly stocks. A takedown 1899A from 1907 and chambered in 32-40. I can see the difference now. I'll have to pull it out of the safe tonite. Mine is actually 30's vintage I'm pretty sure.

I'll have to check.
