When it comes to early 20th century American rifles, please let it be a 1903, Krag, or Savage lever gun.

I built this one two years ago, sort of a M1899 concept gun, .22 HiPower, takedown. It has since then been checkered.



I started out with this:



Current project (in line behind a Krag sporter) is a 1915-vintage Model .250-3000 which came to me in the form of a nice action, beautiful fore end, and thoroughly trashed butt stock. No barrel. If I don't find a .25-3000 barrel soon it shall transmogrify into a .303 Savage takedown, with perch belly pistol grip stock.

A man who doesn't appreciate Savage M1899's is probably someone I wouldn't drink more than one or two beers with!
