Do you guys have any idea of the number of 99 G's in 22 HP manufactured compared to the other G calibers?

After around 1921 the 22HP's went down hill pretty fast. The .30 calibers were king.
E,F, G more common than EG and T's but they were also made for more years.
I think any .22HP with an original later style raised ramp front sight (1928-1940) is a good item.

I thought I owned one! but when I had it lettered, JTC said it started out as a 30-30, but the guy that bought the "G" 30-30 was the guy that invented the Dare Devil spoon, he was also a gun smith, and owned a big sporting goods store. JTC said hes sure that at that time Savage would have sold him a 22HP barrel. the rifle looked about new, and wasnt redone. have the letter somewhere around here. I sold it to a friend, and guess he still has it, I asked that I got 1st dibbs if he decided to sell it!
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!

“It is a pretty nice one.” ??? Only way I can think of to improve on it would be to come up with the original box.

Mine is 3303xx with a factory letter and not near as crisp as Griz's. That is a fine looking rifle.

Mine is just about as nice as GRIZ 's rifle, but has a lighter walnut stock, and i paid dearly for the niceness!!!

I have one that was converted to a 22HP Ackley Improved. The barrel was octagoned and receiver was done in a silver satin finish. Shoots fantastic!!
