An 1899H with a post-WW2 replacement barrel. Or a special order barrel, but I think I've seen more replacement barrels. Did it have a front sight ramp, or still an integral base?

If you want a range/field gun, price seems decent. Can’t see the price getting lower than that in the future, and most places would ask quite a bit more now.

I haven't looked down the barrel yet so we'll see the bore first. Mb

Definitely a good price for an 22HP in decent shape, even with the tapping. The prices on the HP chambered rifles has gone nuts the past few years. Even a beater would normally run more than that price most places these days. Last few I've seen for sale online have been around a grand, and they were not collector grade pieces.
Hope you find the bore is in good shape 👍

A photo of the barrel address would narrow down the year the barrel was produced.
wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

Take a look at the barrel address. After WW II Savage made a run of 24" 22HP barrels with straight threads. I have one of them and it shoots very well. Good luck.

Well had a guy at the shop where it is look for me. It is not a drilled and tapped ramp it is the lump on the barrel one. Had him check the address too Chicoppee Falls. So we know a little more. Mb

Yep, replacement barrel. Be a bit of a heavy barrel for a pre-WWI 1899H featherweight, but should shoot well. Value is the big question... what does a replacement factory barrel do to the overall value of the rifle?

I have a 1920's 99G in 250-3000 with a 24" Westfield barrel also. Still takes down also, not converted to a solid frame.
