my boys and I use. j\,[y
favorit e is hard to name, but I guess th at act uall y I' d pick the .30-30 Wi nchester
carbine. I do a lot of ridin g ar oun d th e ra nch and for an all-aro und gun you
can't beat thi s one. It' s ligh t enough to carry eas ily in a saddle scabbard a nd
not so big th at when you have to hit a rattl er at close ran ge you feel as if
you've bla sted him with a piece of ar till er y. This Wi nchester is a very effective,
potent weapo n. I' ve kill ed deer, bear and coyotes with it and its never let me down.
F or an all-'ro und gun, I'll ta ke th e .30·30 any da y.
By VASSILI BORISSOV
Russian Rifle Champion
S oviet shooters use one of two single shot rifles for the In ternational thr ee-
position course of fire. Th e "Zenith" rifle is for the 300 meter shooting.
7.62mm cali ber, a cartridge based on our older Mosin .30 mili tar y cartridge.
but load ed to mat ch standards, Th e big rifle avera ges bet ween 1268mm a nd
1286mm long, 50-51" . Distan ce between sights is 845-390mm, 33-35" depend ing
on how the rear sigh t is set -forward 0 1' to the rear. This permits the shooter to
positio n his sights so they suit him th e best. T he weight is about 7.4 kilos,
say 16.2 pound s. The small bore rifle for 50 meter competition is the " Strela,"
chambered .22 Long Rifle
(5.6mm) . It is a little
shorter in t he barrel, 1250
mm to 1270mm long ; dis-
ta nce between sights 825mm
to 850mm accordin g to
bar rel length. Both r ifles
have int erchangeab le ape r-
ture front sights and micro-
meter adjustable rear sights.
My favorite of several rifles
RO C IliI[ S
I use is my Mark 12, an
earl ier vers ion of the Str ela.
It, like oth er Ru ssian spor ts
wea pons, was mad e at th e
Tul a factory. I have used it
more than my other guns
partly becau se in wint er it
is not possibl e for Moscow
shooters to use th e outd oor
ra nges, and so I shoot small-
bore indo ors.

In our May, 1958, issue we published a
story titled " Red Guns In The Desert," by
GUNS Technical Editor William B. Edwards.
The following remarks by Representative
Robert Sikes (outspoken friend of the shoot-
ing sports in the U.S. House of Representa-
tives), as quoted in the Chicago Daily Trib-
une, bear out GUNS editors' estimate of th e
importance of the story .
Washing ton , Aug. 18-Rep . Robert L. F.
Sikes (D., Fln.) told the House Monday t ha t
the United States has " lost face" in th e
mid -east beca use Arab t roops ca rry bet ter
rifles t ha n Amer ican soldiers and ma rines.
" In t heir various arms deals with t he sovi-
ets," Sikes sa id, " t he Egyptians, Syrians a nd
more lately th e Yemen ites, have acqu ired th e
new lightweight infa nt ry weapons family us-
ing the new light cartridge, with which t he
Kremlin ha s re- ar med the soviet arm y. Th ese
new soviet rifles, t ommy guns, an d mach ine
guns increase th e f irepowe r of Red and Arab
soldie rs, yet reduce th e burden they must
carry in combat.
" T he Israelis have introduced th e- very
sam e kind of lightweight rifle system which
our a rmy has wanted for over 10 years. Th ey
have a light semi-automatic rifle for the
infantryman, like the M-15 model our army
i~ .. p~ro£~[in%. i!!",~,nll,,,~~.k ~~,,~qL!.~!I.tit!.es_ .t.~i.~
our a rmy has wanted for over 10 years. They
have a light semi-automatic rifle for the
infantryman, like the M-15 model our army
is procuring in only token quantities this
year; and they have a hea vy barreled rifle as
a light machine gun , like the new model
which our army desires,"
Sikes said Israeli weapons a re of th e Bel -
gian design which the Pentagon developed
and tested for some years . They fire th e new
lightw e ight .308 cartridge, developed by army
ordnance and Winchester arms for North
Atlantic treaty organ ization troops.
" In contrast," Sikes said, "our arm y Gl 's
and the marines carry the M-1 Garand rifle,
adopted by the army in 1936 . The hea vy ma-
chine gun is designated mode l 1917, but only
because it was adopted that year. Actually it
was readied by John Browning in 1901 , on
patents awarded when Queen Victoria reigned
and McKinley was pres ident. The cartridg e
all these weapons fire is the famous old
.30-06 stand ing for calibre .30, 1906.
" Consider the potential effect on military
morale . What is a soldier or marine to think
if we send him to the fore -front of th e fight
for peace and western civilization and cla im
that we back home cannot afford to give him
arms as modern as Colonel Nasser seems able
to afford for his Arabs and Egyptian sold iers?
" W ha t, too, was the effect when our troops
landed in Lebanon and the mid-easterners
could see with their own eyes that America
failed to furnish its men with rifles as modern
as t he soviets , Czechs, and Israelis ha ve and
can sell?
" T hese people of undeveloped a reas may
not know much abo ut modern weapons such
as guided missiles and nuclear wa rheads,"
Sikes sai d, " but th ey do know rifles. Among
Arabs in particular the rifle is the ma rk of a
man . If, then, these people can see for th em-
selves that our vaunted modern military
power is second-rate in the weapon s that
they know about, doubt must arise about
American wonder weapons they find hard to

May we add in self def ense th at by no
means all Am ericans believe in ex tra-long-
range shooting at game targets either! Th is
GUNS editor doesn' t ; and GUNS has con-
sistently advised , " Get close, where you k now
you can ma lte a clean-killing hit- or don't
shoot!" En glish readers ( like many A meri-
cans) have been misled by gun-writers who
boast of shots which are im practi cal (and
unsportsmanlik e) for most hunters-s-Editors.

Bein g a regular reader of your absorb ing

the Sulli van law in New Yor k. It has
occurred to me that th e ant i-Sull ivan law

some powerfu l help from the toy man u-
factu rers when the New York police begin
to declar e that permi ts are needed for young-

pistols. I know thi s id ea is fa cetio us b ut
it seems to me that it could almost happen

REMAINS MODERN, UNCHANGED

THROUGH SIXTY YEARS OF SUCCESS

By FRANK DE HAAS

A RTH UR SAVAGE WROTE a letter to a custo mer in 1903. "We sent you one
f i of our catalogs," he said, "and you still ha ven't bought a rifle. What is
wrong?" Th ough the letter was a littl e agg ressive for the man agin g director of
what has become one of America's largest arms firms , the tone was under-
standable. Ar thur W. Savage had designed what he believed to be a perf ect
spor ting rifle, and he couldn' t see how an yone could fail to recognize it as such.
Thi s rifle is the world renowned Savage Model 99, a high power lever action
repeater. Its success began with the Savage-designed .303 cartridge, has since
become popular around the world . Th e new company was firm ly estab lished by
1914, making only sporting gun s. Besid es th e or iginal .303 Savage caliber, thr ee
others wer e designed especially for the Model 99 ; the .22 Hi -Power , .300 Sa vage,
and .250/ 3000. Each boosted its pres tige and popul arity amon g riflemen a little

higher. T oday two of these old-line calibers, .300 and
.250/ 3000, ar e still going strong, and it is also chambered
for thr ee of the very lat est, most modern big game calibers,
the .243, .308 and .358 series. Ha s the Savage 99 reached
its pin nacle of developm ent ? Probably not. Even th ough
it bea rs a mo del da te a half century old, in most respects
that date could be changed to " Model 1958." 0 other
rifle has so well stood th e test of time, no other is so fr eshly
"modern" in style, in design, in functioning as the Savage
99, yesterday and today.
When keen-minded inventor Art hur Savage bac k in th e
1890's dreamed up his novel lever- action spoo l magazine
hamm erl ess rep ea ter , he hardly imagined that aroun d thi s
one single model would be built a vast arms in dustry , and
that alm ost 65 years lat er an ident ica l rifle would be shoot-
ing the world 's most mo dern high power spo rting car-
tridg es. In 1891 Savage submitted two handmade rifles to
the .S. Ordn an ce Department test boa rd. Th e Sav age was
rejected, but the in vent or continued to impr ove th e gun,
for his bas ic idea was sound, a sq uare-section br eech block
that camm ed up in the final closin g mo tion of th e lever, to
lock solidly aga ins t th e rear of the receiver. Th e Sav age
Repeatin g Ar ms Company began in 1894 to make and
mark et his rifles, in spo r ting and long 30" barrel full stock
military mode ls. In 1895 he submi tted the improved rifle
to the New Yo rk Sta te Board for possible ati onal Guard
naturalized citizen (he was born 1857 in Kingston,
Jamaica, B.W.I. ) , he turned to the Ame rican spo rtsman for
a market, and the fundament al excellence of hi s rifle
becam e widely kn own. Th e snowba ll of success began . Th e
spor ting mo del .303 Savage caliber was a smas hing success,
ha vin g a decid ed edge in p ower over competitive .30
calibers in lever acti on rifles. Th e Mode l 95 in .303 Savage
caliber was the start of the gun th at is so well kn own today.
Th e standa rd rifle was supplied with either roun d, half -
round -octagon, an d full octagon barrels, weig hing abo ut
7 11z po unds. Expe rts disagr ee abo ut how man y were ma de :
one source sta tes 5000 in th e first few years, while anot her
says it was no t until 1898 th at any qua ntity were made. All
Mode l 95 rifles, both spo rting and militar y, were believed
made for Ar thur Sa vage's company by Ma rlin Firea rms in
New Haven . Th e mo del was discontinued in 1899 when
min or changes were ma de in th e mecha nism, and th e first
of th e true Model 99s came int o bein g. Th e yea r marked a
compa ny reorgani zati on with new capital, new tools, and a
new factor y erected at the firm's home town of Utica, N. Y.,
home of Savages until 1945.
What has made that ori gina l design still so " up to date? "
First, it was bui lt at the start of the smok eless powder era,
used new " smokeless steel." Th e Savage action had man y
" firs ts" : it was th e fir st solid br eeched, hamm erl ess, r otary
spool ma gazin e, and completely enclosed action mad e. It

down onto the spoo l, until five ar e in place. l ;pon closing the action, the
top cartridge is cham bered. In the receiver side an open ing shows a
number on the ma gazin e spool indicatin g the numb er of shells left. The
rifle can be fired single shot, ma gazine in reser ve, or at any time the
ma gazin e can be fired empty ju st by opening the bo lt full y.-
Th e hammerl ess rifle is smoo th in outline . T he safety is behind the
trigger and , when "on," locks the trigger an d locks the lever closed. A
sliding sho tgun safety on top is offered as a special feature by Savage, fo r
left -handed shoote rs. Th e striker can be easi ly let down on a live ca rtridge
so the riAe can be ca rr ied safely, by holdi ng the trigge r as the finger lever
is closed. Thi s leaves the striker down, but not resting fa r eno ugh fo rwa rd
to tou ch the pr imer. To shoot, the finger lever can be slapped open about
halfway, then snapped shut, cocking the striker. T he br eech block ha s a
cammin g actio n opening and closin g to aid extraction.
Another feature of Sav age's rifles is a cocking indica to r. Arthur Savage's
first had a hole in the br eech block show ing the fir ing pin positi on. In the
95 mod el and up till ab out 1909 in the Model 99, a littl e sq ua re lever on
the bolt stuck up . It could be seen and felt. Th en ca me the pin indi cator,
locat ed on the rear of the receiver , as it is on the 99s made toda y. To get
the full accuracy of such ca rtridges as the .22 Hi -Power, .250/ 3000 and
.300 Savage, a scope sig ht was needed. Becau se it is hammerl ess, with
car tridges ejected to the sid e, the Model 99 became the most pop ular scope·
sight ed hunting rifle in America . Sharp po inted bullets can be used in th e
rotary Model 99 ma gazine, and the result was a long range varmint and
small game outfit, more accurate th an any other lever action. Th e ma gazin e
design is also, as Savage sellers have discover ed, a maga zine "you canno t
drop."
All shots under 2" at 100 yards t estifies t o hig h ac curac y potential
of .250·3000 Model 99 . Gun shot acc urately in spit e of being take -do wn.
There is only one basic Model 99 acti on, but it could have been other-
wise. His very first models were military rifles. Until abo ut 1908 Savage
listed a military riAe, long 30" barrel, full forestock with bands, military
sights, and with an gular or sword ba yonet. But his attempts to peddl e
them met with littl e success. In a futil e effor t to drum up sales he stated in
the 1399 catalog that he was pr epar ed to manufac ture the Model 99 Savage
Military to handle an y military car tridge. Th ese at the time included
.30/40, .303 British, 7.9 Mauser , the 7mm, and others, all longer than th e
Savage spo rting calibers. Had the Jamaica riflemaker been success ful in
getting military contracts, we might be th e heir s to a longer Savage 99

Fi ve years ago he bega n testin g the long ra nge potential of

He doesn't feel he's finished the job yet.
Some of th e dat a painstakin gly acquired in th e early
yea rs was lost when high water flooded his ca mp in north-
ern Maine. So back he went, n ot to the slide rul e ("I' d
rather burn powder than pu sh a pencil" ) , but to th e fieid.
Th e experiments began when Vigue found that little in-
form ation was published on long ran ge hand gunnin g. Gun
and ammo manufacturers told him balli stics research was
invariabl y restricted to 100 yards or less. So Vigue, a

formati on was published on long ran ge hand gunning . Gun
and ammo manufacturers told him ballistics resear ch was
invari abl y restricted to 100 ya rds or less. So Vigue, a
modest, soft-spoken chap of 42, then had a SA Colt .44-40
fitted with a Weaver (and later a Lyman ) scope of low
power.
Results were int er esting, but muzzle blast, heavy recoil,
and the high tr aj ector y of the heavy bullet led him to th e
.22. He had a Colt Officer 's Model with a six-inch barrel
fitted with a 6X Weaver by a Bangor , Me., gunsm ith. Thi s
worked out very well, but at ran ges in excess of 200 ya rds
it was evident that a revolver with a longer barrel equip ped
with a more powerful scope was called for. Vigue drifted
to .22 aut omati cs for a whil e, but eventually settled on a
matched pa ir of custom-made revolvers by Colt, in .22
and .357.

standard, and a bit und ersize in the bore. Th e .357 has
standard rifling and a snu g bore. Both bores ar e chro me
pla ted.
Front sights are mounted higher than conventional to
allow unrestricted sighting when the arm is used without
scope. This is essential, as the scope mounts remain attached
to th e top of the .22 barrel. Each sight is fitted with a
small gold bead recessed int o the blad e. The sights are
removable fr om th e barrels by loosenin g two attachin g
screws. Thi s permits split-ring mounts to be slipped onto
th e .357 barrel. Rear sights ar e standard adj ustable.

All eleven rifles tested are semi -automatic, straight blow -

the tr igger , and th e for ce of the powder gas shoves the

a br eech block return spring. The empty case is ejec ted ,
th e spring throws the br eech forward , str ipping a fres h

Then the gun is read y to fire again, simpl y by pulling
the tri gger. One gun, th e Gevarm, fires from an open bolt
like a BAR: pr essin g the trigger releases the bolt from a

The selection of whi ch guns to col-

often, a person will ju st ramble around,
bu ying an y old gun he find s, witho ut
an y definit e goal in mind. Now, we
said we wanted an inexpensive collec-
tion. Well, ra mbling ar ound is one way
to not be inexpensive. Even if you do
bu y only cheap guns, yo u will soo n
find th at you ha ve qu ite a sum in th em,
in tr avel expenses. It 's up to you
whether you can or can't afford it.
What we are lookin g for ar e guns
th at do no t require a fortun e to bu y,
and will offer a good selection of guns
that will be mor e valua ble in the future.
Among th e guns th at would best fit thi s
category are Smith & Wesson pistols.

other collecto r categories, that is cheap. Yet all of these ar e
prized collecto rs items. Th ey ar e all an tiqu es, and all ar e
fairl y plentiful. Most imp ortant, they ar e constantly grow-
in g in value.
Ever since Hor ace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson put their
fir st bored -thr ough cylinde r .22 caliber Model No. 1 on the
market in 1357, the Smith & Wesson people ha ve been
m aking some of the finest pistols mon ey could bu y. Th eir
quality and workmanshi p ha ve been so superior tha t, even
to day, most of the Smith's you find are still in perfect
working ord er. As you prog ress in your gun collection,
yo u will find out how imp ortant this will be to you .
Among th e more desir able and least expensive
g uns that you will want to begin with ar e the small
" tip-ups." Th ese guns, oddly eno ugh, ar e also the
oldes t gun s that Smith & Wesson made. Th e nam e
comes fr om the way the barrel tip s up to allow the
cylinde r to be re move d for loading. Th ey come in
t hree var ieties of .22 and .32 calibers .
Th e .22's are properl y nam ed Model 1. Th e
Modell, first issue was the first modern -cartridge
g un that Sm ith & Wesson mad e. ( Before this, they
made the fam ous Volcanic pistols ) Thi s gun was
fir st produced in 1357, is eas ily distin gui shed fr om
the seco nd issu e because of its round fra me. Th e
se cond issue came out in 1360 and , together , th er e
were 126,430 of them made. Th e third issue came
o ut in 1363, and there were 123.52 8 of these made.

the fluted cylinde r and round butt.
Th e .32 caliber variety of " tip-up" pictured is the
Modell %. As a rul e, you will find th ese cost a littl e
less than the Model 1. Th e Model }l/z Old Model ,
correspo nds in looks with the Model 1 second issue
except for its larger size and differ ence in cylinder
stop. Thi s .32 ha s its cylinder stop at the bottom
rather than on top. Th ese wer e fir st mad e in 1365
and there were 25,224 mad e. Th e Model IVz Ne w
M odel is, except for size, like the Model 1 third
issue. Th ese came out in 1369. Th er e is no record of
how man y wer e mad e, but the number was high.
Th e third gun of the Model 11/ 2 series is not a " tip.
up" (page 24 ) , but is the first .32 caliber to fire a
center fire bull et. Th e gun is a top-break model that
came out ar ound 1377. Th e pr oper nam e for this
gun is the Model 11/ 2 S ingle Action. It was pro-
duced until 1892 and there wer e 97,540 mad e.
In looking for some of these " tip-ups," you ma y
run acro ss some seeming imitati ons of the Smith's
with MA DE FOR SM IT H & WES SO N stamped on th e
barrel. What you ha ve found may be some of the
guns that wer e infringement s on the Smith & Wesson
pat ents . Smith & Wesson sued several companies for
pat en t infringements and took over and sold their
guns. It mig ht be a good id ea for you to pick up
one of these for the collection also. H owever. don 't
be surprised if the price is higher than for a g~nu ine
Smith. Recen t evidence indicat es S & W actually
contracted for some of these pistols fr om th eir
competitors in the early da ys to fill their own orders,
according to J ohn Parsons' "S mith & Wesson Revolvers."

T HE 28 GAUGE IS TH E SHOTGUN seldom spoken of. But

after almost dyin g out, th er e is a new surge of popul arity
for this in-between size. From 10 ga uge do wn to .22 Sho t,
th e 20 gauge and the .410 fan s mak e the loud est noises. With
new magnums, shooters tout the 20 as a pr oven game gun . Th e
.410 fan s, or faddists as some label them, are differ ent: feats
they claim to accomplish with thi s pea-shooter rival th e powe r of
th e biggest goose guns. But the 23 gau ge enthusiast will j ust
smile quietly. He has undoubtedl y tri ed all three and knows
th at the 28 is a close step behind th e 20 in practical power , and
severa l hu ge strides ahead of the .410. Like man y sho tgun
expe rts, he ha s found th e
28 ga uge has a wider use
than ju st firin g the 28
skeet program or in the
hands of the skilled wing
shot. Th e 28 is the small-
est sho tgun that can be
successfully used on game.
It s value is not limited to
th e skilled win g sho t only ; one of the best uses is to put th e 28
in the hands of the beginner field sho oter instead of th e .410 .
Th e .410 traditional " first gun ," lacks killin g punch and
ran ge for most game, with the possibl e exception of the cotton-
tail rabbit. Most youngs ters start th eir hunting career with an
older shooter , and usually th ese oldsters will ha ve a gun mu ch

GOLDEN STATE ARMS HAS GROWN
BIG BY SUPPLYING SHOOTERS WITH GUNS
FROM ABROAD; GUNS THAT WHET
THE BUYERS TASTE FOR BETTER SPORTERS
By JOHN W . BREATHED, Jr.
To MOST SHOOTE RS, th e expres-
sion " things will be okay when my
ship comes in " is ju st a saying , but to
Al Gettler, Bob Brenn er , and Walter
"Andy " Anderso n of Golden Sta te
Arms Co., the phrase has realit y. ·' We
are finally getting in our Israel gove rn -
ment surplus rifles via London,"
br eath es Brenn er with genuine relief.
~1W!1JtlwS l-"qn~,<t,nu ~ gg~ .~~ri~~ o~J!1J9.~t
ment surplus rifles via Lon don,"
breath es Brenn er with genuine relief.
" But tha t Lond on doc k strike almos t
killed us," he ad ds. For the import er,
dock strikes which tie up cargo es for
weeks or months can spell do om. This
bri ght new comet in the sky of the fire-
a rms world, Golden State Arms, almost
burn ed out. Yet for th ousands of gun
fan ciers aU over th e na tion, th e sun
ri ses and sets with the Pa sadena , Californ ia, company 's big
catalog and ad offerings each month.
I first got an insight int o the workings of Golden State's gun
importin g, and some und erstanding of the mean ing th eir busi-
ness has for the American shooter, b y meetin g Brenn er in , of
all places, Simson's restaurant in London' s West End. As Amer-
ican s do in the far corne rs of the ea rth, we inevitab ly " ra n
acro ss one another" and had din ner at Simson's . Flippin g coins,
we mana ged to stick another American, one of Brenn er 's big-
gest competitors in the arm s business, with the check. Th ough
Bob would not talk ab out wha t he was doin g, he would admit
he was in Engl and " buying guns." I lat er learned that he actu-
ally was doin g busin ess in Ireland .
" The Irish government had a qu antity of World War I artil-
ler y and parts that it want ed to dispose of," Bob told me. " We
took a look at the lot and made the successful bid . Th ere were
Briti sh 25 pound er 'quick firers' and man y other kind s of semi-
obsolete field guns in th e batch, and it was alm ost all brand
spanking new."
Brenn er explained that some of Golden Sta te's bu sin ess is
with small govern ments who can't afford to pay for newly con-
stru cted arm s at toda y's high pric es. Th e ar tillery business is
much like the same trade conducted (Continued on page 43 )

SAVAGE: THE RIFLE THAT IS 60 YEARS YOUNG
(Continu ed from. pag e 17)
man aging director in 1906, moved west and
grew oranges. Durin g hi s la st years with th e
firm, Savage embar ked on the pistol road .
Though the Savag e-Searl es .45 a utoma tic
was a contender for Governm ent approval,
th e Colt won out in 1905-1911. Later Savage
ma de a h ighly success ful pocket pistol in
two versions, and th e 1906 catalog had two
bl ank pa ges which bore a notice to th e
customer that he would see some thing new
ther e in th e next cata log. Arth ur Savage
lat er or gan ized th e Savage Mu nitio ns Co. in
San Diego to make .45 Colt automat ics dur-
ing World War I, but only slides were turn ed
out and ther e in minute quan tity. Back in
Ut ica, .32 and .380 pock et a utomatics wer e
mad e, an d a half-dozen .25 pistols escape d
fr om the factory model room to deli ght col-
lectors toda y. Lon g before Savag e's death
in 1938, th e factory ha d stoppe d makin g
h and gu ns. T he rifle was th eir strong point.
I n 1907 th e biggest ste p was the tak edown
Model 99. It was popu lar- a great fad in
p ast years, hand y to pa ck in a suitcase- b ut
add ed nothin g to th e accurac y. Th e qui ck
ta kedo wn had the ba rr el fixed by an int er -
ru pted thread: twist 90° with for earm re-
moved, and out it ca me. Th e slower ta ke-
down was a f ull th read barrel, had to be
complete ly unscrewed . A forearm socket
sli pped over a stud on the barrel, and was
used as a wrench to br eak the barrel loose.
T he slow takedown was the more accurat e,
and th e barrel remained tighter in the re-
ceiver for much longer. Th e qui ck ta kedown
eventu ally shot loose. T he hab it of ca rrying
full-l en gth r ifles in cases and the inh er ent
ina ccura cy of such tak edown systems ca used
Savage to discon tin ue it in the ea rly 1940s.
Novel feat ur e of th e takedown mod els was
an extra .410 shot barrel that mad e th e rifle
full- len gth r ifles in cases and the inh er ent
ina ccura cy of such tak edown systems ca used
Savage to discon tin ue it in the ea rl y 1940s.
Novel feat ur e of th e takedown mod els was
an extra .410 shot barrel that mad e th e rifle
in to a single shotg un. Th e cartr idges would
not feed in to th e standard ri fle magazine
spool.
T he 1907 line-up was ch ock full of d if-
fer ent kinds of the same rifle, the 99. Th e
first pistol gr ip and the first delux e mod els
appeared. Top 99 was the Mon ar ch, fancy
carved wood, all-over engraving, smoothed
innards, and a pri ce ta g of $250, prob a bly
the fan ciest rifle ever t urn ed out by Savage.
On down the li ne each mod el was a littl e less
engrave d, wood a littl e less fancy, pri ce a
little smalle r, until th e plain ba sic Savage
99, workhorse of the lot, th en at only $20.
This model pr obab ly kill ed mor e gam e th an
all tile rest of the fan cy ones put together.
B y the mid -twen ties th e models were
kn own as A, B, C, D, E, F, an d G, th e
Jast being the fan ciest. T he 22" and 24" bar-
rels wer e favorites, but 26" was still sold. By
the mid -thirties th e 26" barrels wer e gone.

and th e RS, pro ba bly the very best h unti ng
rifles Savage ever mad e, cam e out ab out this
time. Th ey wer e th e first 99 rifles with out
the Schnabel for earm. In 1938 Savage had
eight ver sions of th e 99, 'but mod els wer e
drop ped right and left with war produ ction
dema nd ing th e firm's att ention, and only the
model EG in .250/ 3000 and .300 Savag e was
offered, and few of th ese to be had.
Currentl y Sava ge is mak ing four models,
the EG , R, R S and F. Th e R S is again the
dandy of the lot, stocke d espec ially for use
with scope sights. Th e model F is the
feat herw eight 99, mor e accurate with it s
screwed-in ba rr el, not takedown. To day's
li ne-up incl udes cali bers of .243, .250/ 3000,
.308, .300 Savage , and .358. But the Sa vage
story is onl y half -compl ete, unl ess it incl udes
th e fam ous Savag e caliber s espec iall y de-
signed for th e r ifle, plu s the sta ndard ca r -
tr id ges it was chambered for.
T he original 95 and later 99 began th eir
caree r chambere d for a round christe ned
" .303 Sa vage." Sho rter than the Bri tish mili-
tar y .303, it may have been Sa vage' s attemp t
to trade on th e British cartridg e's a cceptance
among Can adian shoote rs. Th e .303 Sa vage
was an instant success with backw oodsmen,
hunt er s and trapper s. It was a good kill er ,
accurate an d hard -hitting. Almost iden tical
to th e .30-30, it h ad a slightly h eavier bu llet,
had th e edge over the .30-30 in po wer.
Th ou gh never used in any oth er mak e of
rifle, the .303 Savag e had become so well
esta blished th at it was no t until 1940 -Savage
di sconti n ued it in simplifying th eir line. Th e
car tridg e is still in th e stores.
Th e .30-30 was drafted in to th e Savage
l ine-up becau se to man y h unt er s it was " the"

Th e .30-30 was drafted in to th e Savage
l ine-up becau se to man y h unt er s it was " the"
cartridge . Sava ge began cha mbering for it
in 1901, di scont inu ed it along with th e .303.
Whil e ma ny experts claim th e .30-30 isn't a
military car tridge , Savage mad e it so. From
1901 to 1907 some of th e long-barr eled mili-
tary 99s were sold to var ious sta te guard and
militia forces. W hil e never used by th e U.S.
Army or Na vy, the .30-30 in a limit ed se nse
was a militar y calib er.
Alon g with th e .30-30, th e .25-35 also a p-
peared in th e Sava ge 99 and was popular
for deer and varmint shootin g. In th e ea rly
da ys Sav ag e also chambere d for the .32-40
and .38-55, two pop ular target cartridges.
Th e .38-55 was a big-gam e cartr idge of lat e
black-powder days.

Of the four original Savag e calib ers the

Th e .250-3000 wit h 87 grain bullet is a

Browning Arms Co. Dept. 5R St. Louis 3, Mo. came the .300 Savag e. It was nothing rad i-
cal, just a shortened 30.06, to fit th e 99
acti on. It was loaded init ially to almo st
id enti cal balli stics, and th e success of th is
power ful comb ination dispelled any doubts "
about the stre ngth of t he Sava ge action- it
handl ed this powerfu l new shell easily. Th e
.30-06 grad ually was boosted in velocity and
now the military round leads th e Sava ge .300
by 100 yard s- in oth er word s, the .30-06 is
as powerful at 300 yard s as th e .300 Savage
is at 200.
After peac e cam e, Savag e soon an nounced

Right on th e heels of the .308 came news
of anoth er new calib er on t he same case, th e

BUILDS THE BEST IN SINGLE ACTIONS,

There is no single action revolver made, nor has a gun of this.kind ever
been made, which can compare with the RUGER Single-Six. We mean
this on the basis of durability, reliahility, accuracy, and accurate fitting
of component parts. Materi~ls throughout are the best for the purpose
that can he obtained. The finish is neat and uniform, as only the most

contr-ibutes to real performance has been designed by and for experts.

All firin g was at 50 yards. Accuracy was
err atic, and not restrict ed to any one gun.
As a gro up they p erf orm ed wi th what at
best is called " hunting accura cy," and th en
only at ranges not exceeding th eir sights'
capa bilities for clea r aiming. I. estima te this
ran ge at not more than 50 yards or m eter s.
For good accurac y one need s b ett er sights,
ir on or scope, than are currently available
for weap ons of thi s type.
In li eu of the poor fact ory sigh ts and
th eir var iati ons in sight picture, th e Weaver
B-4 economy-priced scope ($9.75) was used.
This gave eac h rifle an eq ual chance in
sighting. Th e Beret ta receiver with demount-
able top is not grooved for Tip-Off mount.
Th e possessor 0 '1' purch aser of one of th ese
a utoloa ders should consider also gett ing a
Weav er scope, the B-4 or the B-6.
Sur pr isingly enough th e maj ori ty of tar -
gets, regard less of wh ich r ifle fired th em,
looked very much alike. T ypical groups fr om
th e Mossberg M151K showed three of 10·
shots and four of 5-shots with most having
a tend en cy toward ver tical patt ern. Tw o
exceptions occurr ed : one lO-sh ot gro up fired
was lar ge but n ot str ung out. On e 5-shot
gro up showed three ti ghtly togeth er , one out
at 3 o'cl ock , the oth er out at 11 o'cl ock. One
10-shot gro up was fired with Win chester
Sup er Speed from a cold gun. As th e rifle
h eat ed up th e second shot gro ups dr opp ed
down and star ted to string out ver ticall y. Th e
aiming point was one bull on a 50-yard
multiple target ; th e point of imp act was on e
bull lower. Simila r variat ions between po int

for eight or nine rounds, t hen tossed one or
two out making the gro up larger.
Th e Marl in 89-C ran first ; the W in ch ester
77 ( clip ) second in ac cur ac y. Both gave
th eir best p er for mances with differ ent grades
and makes of amm un iti on. P erhaps bot h
rifles would perform more accurat ely if th ey
All had bett er bedd in g and improved tri gger
p ull s. It is believed tha t all of the rifles
tested would show marked im provements in
close shooting if " accurized."
Th ese are Everyone of th e rifles perf orm ed most
Co. for
satisfactorily with high velocity ammunition ,
Super-X, Super Speed, 0 1· Hi -Speed. Th ere
seems to be a market tr end to " high velocity"
small bore ammo ; it may be th e ma nufactu r-
ers an ticipate this demand by adju sting their
weapons for mor e r eliabl e functioning with
these gra des of ammuni tion.
With some weap on s, notably Rem ington
552, Hi ggin s M29, and Win chest er M77 ,
some malf un ct ions were encountered, but no
test gun was entirely fr ee fr om malf unctions.
Remin gton claims the shooter can mix
Short s, Longs, and Lon g R ifles indiscrimi-
natel y in th e M552 au toload er and fire th em
without troub le. This claim did not prove
tru e for us. Frequ en t jam s in ejec tion and
feed in g res ulted. An assortm ent of 12 car-
trid ges, regular and hi gh spee d, all lengths,
was load ed into t he M552. Th e r esulting 50-
yard ta rge t ga ve an averag e maximum spre ad
of 5lh " -6" by 3" stre tc hing f rom 11 o'cl ock
to 5 o'cl ock.
After severa l h undred sh ots the J. C.
H iggi ns M29 developed a weak firing pin
blow. Th e M29 also spra yed unburnt powder
grains down thr oug h the tw o slots in th e
bottom of th e receiver j ust fo rward of th e
tr igger guards, not dan gerou s, but d irty .
Eac h weap on occasionally fail ed to eject,
usin g low veloc ity ammunition.
Trigger pull s on all r ifles were poor. T he
topi c is a sore point to shooters u sed t o
smooth, clea n, crisp, cree pless and ba ckl ash -
less ta rget triggers. Such trigger s cost mor e.
But it would seem to me that th e buy er of
a .22 autoload ing rifle in th e $50 plu s bracket
could expect to get a fairl y decent trigger
pull for t he money. Least offen sive wer e th e
Hi ggins M29, Rem ingto n 552, Winch ester
77-C, and th e Br owning, with non e ca pable
of taking any prizes. Trigger pull is oft en a
critical fa ctor in the shooter's ability to do
well with any particula r r ifle. A gun with
less accur acy and a good tr igger ma y out-
shoot more accura te b ut coarser-tr igger r ifle.
I n my op ini on the Am eri ca n-desi gned a nd
pr od uced rifl es wer e decid edly bett er point-
in g and handling in th e field . The Gevarm
lacked a butt plate ( the wood is finished
smooth ), which ca used th e stock t o take a
beatin g in th e gun ra ck and in th e field .
Th e " petitene ss" of these guns both er ed me,
as it did some shooters poll ed. Oth er shooters
lik ed the diminut ive styling, call ed the
Br own in g "c ute."
T he Mossb erg was afflicted wi th t oo much
Iorend, which gave it a clu msy feeling.
" What's the kn ob (schn abel) for ?" a sked
one ran ge visitor. F ra nkly, I don 't kn ow.
Recent wor d suggests t hat Mossberg , after
yea rs of sticking to their schnabel styling, I
are exploring reactions to a stra ight forend,
In spite of th e fau lts menti on ed , the ri fles
