Very nice rifles Hanco and LBK. 👍
As of yet, I haven't come across what I'm looking for. The couple 32-40 1899s I have seen for sale were higher condition, embellished rifles that were way out of my ballpark. I've got a bunch of test loads with cast 165s, and both Speer and Hornady FN .321" 170s sitting on the shelf ready for whenever I do finally find the one I'm after.
Kind of a back burner deal right now; I've had to drop a lot of money on vehicle and house issues over the past 6 months, so I haven't been actively searching lately.

I've wanted a "D" engraved 1899 for a long time. Ain't gonna happen. Spending too much money on old hotrods, property tax, insurance, food, etc.
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]

I'm pretty much all Savaged up. I'd like an engraved 1899F in 32-40 or 25-35 as a keeper.
But, if I had the cash to just drop on something, it would probably be a Rigby Highland Stalker in 275. Starting at $10,000 Brit. It's based on the Corbet Tribute Rifle they built a few years ago, that was based on Corbet's rifle. I would get one with the metal butt plate with charging Tiger. That red recoil pad does the same thing to me, that holes in a rifle do to Ted!
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I don't have the stamina for the true collector's search.., I just want what I want, (probably because someone told me I cant get it..) then I find out I need to make it for myself...! Like this, 99 x 410 -repeater 410 repeater!or, maybe a 99 with a free-floated barrel..,

That's definitely more my speed. 👍
I'm just not really in the market at the moment. I depleted a ton of my savings, so I'm avoiding spending much on fun stuff until I get the rainy day fund back up to a more comfortable level.

Got to hold and manipulate an early 99r at the Columbus Fest in 2010. Really liked that one. Always on the look out for one and a few others. No where near as schooled as most but know what I like. Also know what to avoid based on my tastes thanks to this board. Appreciate most everyone’s input.

I really havent been looking lately. Filled a couple holes in the collection recently with adding a D engraved 1899A and finally my first 1895! There are a couple i would like to find like a 250 barrel band carbine and a C in either 32-40 or 38-55 but im in no hurry. Good luck in your searches gents, cheers 🍻.

I have been thinking about this lately.
It would be nice to have an 1899H in 30-30.

I wouldn't mind having one that had been to the pole or killed game in Africa. Pedigree or provenance as a fact of history would be cool.

I lucked into one that will be VERY hard for me to come up with anything better. Back when you could buy a gun on Broadway in New York City and deliver it in Canada. Wouldn't want to try that today.

I’ve been searching for a savage 110pe. Talked to a man who owned a 110 PEL that he sold a few years ago. Figured I’d chase this rabbit hole for a while until I find one. I haven’t had a desire to buy anything else since locating a nice 99.
