Nice shooter, folks would be jealous of that gun at the range or out hunting.

As said, it's the second version of the Savage 1899 model 250-3000. The first version had a perchbelly stock (the bottom of the buttstock was fat on the bottom like a perch). That version was made in 1919 and 1920.

In 1921 that model was renamed the model 99G and was available chambered for more cartridges than just the 250-3000. That was made up through 1941.

Looks like a Nice rifle to me! I think you will like it! what show did you find her at? Novi ?

Real nice rifle you've got there. Would like to find that here locally, and if I had the money would buy it in a second. Might send the lever out for case hardening, but wouldn't be a pressing issue. Looks like someone did a nice job restoring that one.

Nice rifle. The Type 1 that was made before WWI also had a checkered trigger. This was the only rifle (1895, 1899 or 99) Savage made with a checkered trigger. The other models made before WWI had smooth triggers. After WWI all models had serrated triggers.

The answer depends on how much money you want to spend. The one I would recommend would be a Lyman 29-1/2 or 30-1/2 because they adjust for windage. Slightly hard to find and pretty pricey.

There are also receiver peep sights that have adjustable windage but I'm not familiar enough to suggest specific ones. I like the tang sights.
