The 1899/99 models added a counter to the spool to indicate how many rounds are loaded. The 18/99 models used a rotary magazine to hold the cartridges, using a spring-loaded spool with grooves. A hammerless action was useful as it reduces the lock time, allows the rifle to be fired more accurately and is less likely to jam in brush or snag in clothing. They were preceded by the Model 1895, which was the first hammerless lever-action rifle produced. Our Assessment: The Savage 1899/99 model rifles have quite a history.
