I had to pull out the guns to do a little preventive maintenance, so I got to take a gander at a few models. I have come to the conclusion that my top three favorite models are in this order. Though they are all razor thin close.
99H Barrel Band in 250 99G, any with 20 inch barrel 1899 Deluxe
Yours?

1) 99T 2) early 1899 250-3000 3) 99H barrel band
Put the 99H up there, but was really had to decide between the 99H, 1899B, or an early 99F with the later checkering

#1 99T #2 99RT #3 1899 250-3000 deluxe and since the RT isn't a catalogued model I'd add my DL in 358 to the list. Sorry had to sneak another one in there.

In order by year, not preference:
1912 1899 H 22HP
1919 250-3000 rifle, second style. Thanks Randy.
1950 R 250-3000, my first 99.

Those are the three favorites in my safe. If there were more in my safe, the list might be different. It was hard squeezing out my 1899 B, Joe.

1899 G Takedown all 3 times.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years. It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone..... Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

Wow, that's a nice rifle! If I were to make a list of three 99s that Savage should put back into production it would start with a rifle like pictured above. Something basic, clean and very handy.
