The Model 99EG is a classic pre-war configuration, combining a 24-inch blued carbon-steel barrel with a blued carbon-steel receiver and a case-hardened lever. This example retains the solid-frame (non-takedown) build and top ejection, along with the internal 5+1 rotary magazine that defined the platform.
Walnut furniture includes a pistol-grip stock with factory checkering and a rounded forearm. A steel ribbed buttplate with the Savage logo completes the period-correct stock set. Length of pull measures 13 inches.
Sighting equipment consists of iron sights: a ramped front sight and a barrel-mounted adjustable open rear sight with elevator. This is a straightforward, practical setup consistent with the EG pattern of the era.
Made in the USA in 1940, this pre-WWII 99EG highlights the hammerless lever-action design and clean, sharp-rifled bore, presenting a strong example of the model’s pre-war production features.
