You gentleman have some of the finest 99', I've ever seen. I can't imagine what a Savage Fest must be like. Hard to find any rifles that compare locally. Ok, I could drive down to Fireball2's place, not to far guess. Thanks for posting them. Come on down brother. We'll go to lunch. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

My wife would tell you that I speak to it as well. This thread is full of beautiful Savages, but this is the one I would love to see when I open my safe door. Just gorgeous, 513JAKE.! Just curious, is that original finish? My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here. My heart's in the mountains, chasing the deer.

First year 1899 .250-3000, I found the/a original rear sight in the butt stock but haven't put it on yet. This is how I bought it. Not as nice as others have posted but one of my favorites and my first 1899. The second is s M24 410/.22. the first gun my dad bought when he was a young teen, and passed to me last year.

How long did Savage use the same engraving styles, did they just not change at all, or do they just look similar enough that my untrained eye can't tell the difference?

How long did Savage use the same engraving styles, did they just not change at all, or do they just look similar enough that my untrained eye can't tell the difference? It is similar to Savage's early "A" style engraving pattern in the early 1900's. The engraver then was Enoch Tue. This rifle was engraved in the mid to late 1950's and the engraver was Siefried Rentzschke. Rentzschke also engraved Colt, S&W and Winchesters as well either as an independent or while he was at A.A.
