Introduced in 1936 as a redesign of the Model 54, it features an improved single-stage trigger and a low-profile three-position safety. The Model 70 has been in continuous production with numerous configurations and chamberings, with earlier 1936-1964 models being highly sought after by collectors.
This entry details the Savage Model 99 lever-action rifle, a significant firearm featured in the MidwayUSA Firearms Hall of Fame. Larry Potterfield, founder of MidwayUSA, highlights its historical introduction in 1899, its innovative rotary box magazine enabling pointed bullet use for improved ballistics, and its hammerless design with a round counter. The rifle's extensive production run from 1899 to 1999, exceeding one million units, and its chambering in popular cartridges like .300 Savage, underscore its legacy as a versatile hunting rifle.
