Hi guys - new here obviously. You can put me down for one!
I signed onto the campfire to ask some questions about the 1899 takedown 250-3000 w/ 410 that was gifted to me. I saw this thread so I figured I'd chime in to help keep the count going!
I will start a new thread soon with some details and pictures - I would love to hear what you all think about it. I believe it's all original (not dicked with as far as I can tell) but I'd like to hear from the gurus.

This is my Grand Fathers 1899 in 250/3000. He bought it brand new back in the 1920's. I was going to re-blue it, but then I realized that it was Grandpas hands that wore the blue off carrying it as his main hunting rifle for many years, I can't touch it up, I feel it would be just wrong.
I'm looking forward to seeing it with one of Lightfoot's no drill scope mounts and a new scope so my bad eyes can shoot it again. I will take a deer and an Elk with it next season....

If guns kill people, does that mean I can blame misspelled words on my pencil?

I am looking for info on a savage model 99 that was gifted to me from the old man I used to hunt with. It is chambered in .250/3000, brass shell counting window, checkering on fore end, serial number 7117##, and it appears the boss code is 20B in a circle. Pretty sure it is all original from his stories. Just curious as to a year and model?

99EG with a thin forearm and schnabel tip, 99R if it has a fat and wide forearm with rounded end. Serial number puts it to 1953/1954.

LBC and serial number don't match up. 20B would be 1950.

I'm new here. Don't quite know how this forum works yet but I'll try to add to the total. I have only 2. A .303 1899 and a .243 99. The 99 is either an A (on the barrel) or an E (on the receiver.)
Hey fellas, I'm new to the forum and figured I'd add my few to the list. Current count is at 7 and growing whenever possible. Here's the list so far:
1899B 303 1899B 32-40 1899 F 30-30 1899 H 22HP (just a shooter) 1899 250-3000 99 250-3000 99C 22-250
I've only been following the forum for a short time but have gained a lot of knowledge from a lot of your posts and look forward to learning more. I was bit by the gun bug early on and the Savage lever gun has always been at the top of the list. When I figure out how to post pics I'll share one of my little group of guns.

That's a really good group! Welcome!

You don't come across too many 1895s out here. As a matter of fact, the only one I can recollect seeing was years ago at Mazama Sporting Goods in Eugene Oregon.
