Do you guys have any idea of the number of 99 G's in 22 HP manufactured compared to the other G calibers?

Very, very few.

After around 1921 the 22HP's went down hill pretty fast. The .30 calibers were king.

E,F, G more common than EG and T's but they were also made for more years.

I think any .22HP with an original later style raised ramp front sight (1928-1940) is a good item.

I have one.ser 2901xx

norm

I have one also,s/n 346437, it was the only one i had ever seen for sale.

I thought I owned one! but when I had it lettered, JTC said it started out as a 30-30, but the guy that bought the "G" 30-30 was the guy that invented the Dare Devil spoon, he was also a gun smith, and owned a big sporting goods store. JTC said hes sure that at that time Savage would have sold him a 22HP barrel. the rifle looked about new, and wasnt redone. have the letter somewhere around here. I sold it to a friend, and guess he still has it, I asked that I got 1st dibbs if he decided to sell it!

The one I have is serial #3853xx. It is a pretty nice one. Here are some pics.

“It is a pretty nice one.” ??? Only way I can think of to improve on it would be to come up with the original box.

Mine is 3303xx with a factory letter and not near as crisp as Griz's. That is a fine looking rifle.

Holy Cow...nice. Definitely has the Wow factor

Mine is just about as nice as GRIZ 's rifle, but has a lighter walnut stock, and i paid dearly for the niceness!!!

Did Savage ever make a solid frame 99 in 22 HP?

Yes... but very, very few of them sold. 99E, 99EG, 99T.

It looks like they made about 5. LOL

The majority of data (4) I have on 99-E HP's is from Australia.

I have one that was converted to a 22HP Ackley Improved. The barrel was octagoned and receiver was done in a silver satin finish. Shoots fantastic!!

I have one up here in Canada (99E in 22 HP)

I have a really rough E and a really nice EG in 22 HP

David,

If you ever get tired of that EG in 22HP, please let me know. It is at the top of the list of wants.

Iv never seen one, any idea how many were ever made?

I have a model E 22HP inbound,should arrive in about a week. 270xxx The wood is really rough but I am ok with putting a new stock on it. Just wanted a solid frame 22 HP, never been a fan of the take downs.

We need 'before' pictures!

Well i bribed my wife to take some pictures of my 99G in 22 HP, kinda light walnut,s/n 346437

Will do but I warn you the wood is nasty. Also will likely need help as I can get pictures to the image gallery but need to figure out the downsizing to be able to attach them to a thread. In fact I am not sure how to even find the pics I do have on image gallery.
Jim

Great Jim, we can compare 'nasty' before pictures. That will be a fun thread!

Don, that's a beauty of a G, and 22HP! what do you think let the checkering go dark while the finished wood stayed so blond, did the unfinished checkering get oiled in factory?

I think its just the way the end grain in the checkering took the varnish,makes it look darker.

I like the effect.

+99!

That is a dandy
