Savage said the 1899H lightweight wasn't available with high grade wood. They didn't say it was because the high grade wood was denser and therefore heavier than the straight grained wood but that was the reason. However there are a few 1899H's with high grade wood. "With Savage Never Say Never."

"Can't order fancy wood for 1899H's" - yep, catalogs said that. "Here, order an Excelsior Grade rifle with fancy american walnut!!" - yep, catalogs also said that. So we know it wasn't set in stone.. It would just take some serious asking. ![[Linked Image from image.invaluable.com]](https://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/julia/22/410022/H0019-L38648490.jpg)

I have one. High grade wood and checkering. There is a pic of it somewhere in the collector's guide.
