Savage 1899H 22 Hi-Power Lever Action Rifle

Up for sale a this beautiful Savage 1899H 22 Savage (Hi-Power or HP) Lever Action Rifle. This is featherlight model with the 20" barrel and is also a takedown verison. This rifle in 22 HP was only made between 1912 and 1915 and the serial number places this one as a 1913 manufacture.

The .22 Savage Hi-Power cartridge, also known as 5.6×52mmR, was created by Charles Newton and introduced by Savage Arms in 1912. It was designed to be used in the Savage Model 99 hammerless lever action rifle. It is based upon the .25-35 Winchester cartridge necked down to accept a .227in/.228in diameter bullet. Its original loading was a 70 grain soft point bullet with a velocity of about 2790 feet per second. Today's handloaders can use modern powders & bullets to compare with 5.56 and .223 ammunition- in a century plus year old lever action rifle. Wow!
This rifle is fit to be added to a Collectors exhibition gun room. The serial numbers on all parts are matching. The action is tight and silky smooth with an excellent rifled bore. The Model 1899's are much more sought after than the standard model 99. This is the rarest caliber of takedown rifle ever made to my knowledge.
