Impossible to answer the question

They're all good. Some are just better (to look at).
First year production 1899H 22HP, deluxe wood, B engraved w/owner name on belly, Lyman leaf sight, Lyman 29 1/2 tang sight.

My early 1899 SRC .303. Belonged to my paternal grandfather’s brother, a Scots mining engineer hired to work the steam engines in a coal mine in the Colorado/New Mexico area. He was shot during a bar discussion by a co-worker. My grandad’s Appalachian Scots family took up a collection to send the next eldest brother out to avenge the murder. The victim’s wife (6 kids!) gave him the rifle, but the perp was tried and went to the pen (was a Rough Rider with Teddy R, paroled shortly thereafter). Anyway, my grandad ended up with the rifle, the first high powered rifle I and my 3 cousins ever shot, and it went to his eldest son, then his son, then to me. It shoots pretty well still, but now hangs in my library in a place of honor.
PS: On New Years Eve every year the people in Lonaconing, MD would fire their weapons up onto nearby Jackson Mountain at midnight. The people who lived on the mountain did, I suppose, evacuate or go the the root cellar.

SWS, that's a beautiful Rifle, no doubt about it.

After years and years of searching my 99T in 22 HP

Superb. That one checks off all the boxes for me.

Yes, very nice! Where's that one been hiding!

Shooooe weeeee

Look at the wood on that thing.

Guess, I'll throw another log on the 'Fire,


Here's My 250-3000 first model, with mannlicher forearm.

If it's snows this weekend I might take it out for the squirrel biathlon (sling eyes already installed)!

Wowser!! That would be a definite favorite of mine. All very nice guns.

My Granddad's 1899 B that got me into all of this. This is on the farm he settled in northern Minnesota in 1901. I was born and raised there.

Is that a picture of him with the gun?

Winner! And All-Time Champeen!!

Yes indeedy!!!

Got the original wheel barrel to ! Great photo.

my very 1st Savage 99 22-hi-power takedown to look at ,but my back-up deer rifle is a Savage 99 284 " the only reason its a back - up rifle i don`t wanna get any marks on it since i refinshed the stock "

I would pay to print an 8X10 of that amazing photo!
Tell how and how much!
I'd frame that and put it in my den.
If you saw my den, you would understand!
