30 inch Savage
Thought the folks here would enjoy seeing this one. Savage model 1899B (full octagon) made in 1906 chambered in 30-30. What is unique about this one is the 30" Optional barrel ... very, very few have been seen.

Very nice old Savage, Keith do you have any history on that gem?

Wow. I knew such existed, but have never seen even a photo that I can recall. It must feel like carrying a broomstick in the woods -- not a bad thing!

Be still my heart!
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Seen a 30" heavy-barrel bolt action Savage in 308, but not quite the same historic charm...

Re: 30 inch Savage
I love old lever guns with extra length barrels! And as you mentioned a Savage with a barrel over 26" is very rare, and more so in a 30"! Great find!

Very Nice! I don't have any 99s, I'm a Winchester and Marlin Guy, have a few long barrels. Cool!

Re: 30 inch Savage
Now THAT'S a levergun! Very nice find.
Re: 30 inch Savage
i like it! and im very curious about muzzle velocities if you measure them.
Re: 30 inch Savage
Grizz, I've only taken it out once so far. I worked up a reduced load of 28.0 grains of H4895 with a Speer 130gr FP. Hodgdon lists the starting load as 31.5 gr, 2248 fps with that bullet in a 24" barrel. My average velocity, 10 shot with the chrono at 15 ft, was 2090 fps.
Re: 30 inch Savage
Thanks. Most interesting firearm. FUN !
